I then CO 2 on another DPN knitted those 20 stitches, and then CO as the pattern mentions.

Hope this helps.

BUT, I am working on the Cabled Yoke Coat and have reached the under arm gusset. The directions for the gusset itself are clear but I am confused as to the placement of the gusset. Is it supposed to be over the second cable, or next to it. Does the cable stop? \

I ended up with some extra stitches in my sections (must have miscounted the increases) and decided that the extra ease was a good thing but now, can't figure the placement of the gusset.

HELP??????; ▶ Reply to This

Re counting my stitches reveals that I am 2 stitches short. Going to the increase section (second paragraph page 2) following increases for size 56 and increasing 4 more times results in 272 stitches not 278 as the pattern indicates.

I have added this up over and over and keep coming up with 272 stitches not 278 as the pattern reads which would make me 4 stitches OVER.

I am so confused!!!!!!!!; ▶ Reply to This

If you're looking for a more basic sweater design book, one of Kelley's favorites is Sweater Design in Plain English. It has a lot of basic information for planning out a sweater to your exact measurements. Another book to look at is Simple Style - it has some beautiful patterns with clean lines, and some of them could easily be converted to shorter sleeves.; ▶ Reply to This

And the perspective is kind of awkward. Perhaps Knit Picks could get a few better photographs?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by GinnyG on March 30, 2009 at 4:39am: I called Customer Service and was told to email. It's is now 3/30 and I have not received a response. I went ahead and did what I thought might be correct, although I doubt it was. I have only been able to find one other person who got to this point in the pattern and they were confused as well.; ▶ Reply to This
