Let me know if this helps.

In a normal vest, you would start knitting at the bottom right side and when you reach the underarm, you would start decreasing at the outside edge and at the neck edge, not increasing. If this is a pattern that is readily viewable on the internet, that would help. I'm afraid I can't help you without seeing the pattern or having more information. Angel

Because I don't have the pattern information, I am guessing that if you are still working on the right side you will be continuing on the same needles. Usually when it says to cast on 10 sts for some sort of shaping you will either use a knitted cast on or a backward loop cast on. If you could give more information, we might be able to help more.

Be sure to note on the pattern whether to cast on after finishing a right side row or a wrong side row. I think you'll do it one way for the right front and the other way for the left front. The reason I'm suggesting to be careful on this is so you won't end up with 2 right fronts or 2 left fronts. Was this by any chance a top down knit pattern?

Hope this helps!

Norma
