Hi, I absolutely love this sweater pattern and have been working on it for the past couple of weeks. I'm currently joining the sleeves to the body of my sweater, and I realized that I may run into problems when decreasing because I am left handed. You mention that one of the decreases slants to the left while the other slants to the right. This is my first knitting project, and I was wondering if I would have to adjust the pattern in order for the decreases to slant the right way? When I knit, I'm pushing my left needle into the stitches on my right needle and passing them over to the left if that clears anything up. I would love some feedback about this. Thank you!

I removed 5 rows from the body, I did it basically between the bottom ribbing and when my first row of any colour patterning happens so it doesn’t affect any striping! The pattern has measurements for how each size will turn out and roughly indicates where you can add or remove rows to alter length :)

I’ve been looking for the lion yarn but the only kind I’ve been finding say that it is for 9mm needles is that what you have here but you use the 10mm needles with it?

@erinlizabethw 4 жыл бұрын

Yes. The needle size on yarn is just a suggestion. Different needle sizes can be used as a choice to create the desired drape (how tight or flowy) you want a piece to have or to match the gauge when following a pattern. Everyone knits with slightly different tension so in order to follow a pattern and match the size you need to make sure your gauge is correct which might require adjusting needle sizes or contiously knitting tighter or looser.

for the smaller cord needles, which are you working with? I am going to attempt this with a 24" and 16" but the cast on for the sleeve is too short for my 16" so I think I'll hold off til I can find that size needle on a 8" cord.

@erinlizabethw 4 жыл бұрын

Honestly my shorter needles are too long for the cast on as well, I just pull the cord out between stitches to make it work for the first 5 or so rounds until it fits. Or you can start out with double pointed needles and transfer to the circular needles when they will fit.

@erinreyes5542 4 жыл бұрын

@@erinlizabethw yeah, I'm leaning that US 13 circulars do not come with any cord shorter than 16". Some ladies in my knitting fb group also suggested dpns or the magic loop when i mentioned my cord being too long. I'm most familiar with a crochet magic loop so when everyone kept saying magic loop, i found videos to learn. Oddly enough I've done that before but not knowing magic loop was a real term. I thought i was just being clever in getting past a tight section. Mostly with my hat crowns. I'm excited to try this pattern. I suck when it comes to garments but I'm facing my fears and discovering my potential😁

This question has been answered a few times in the comments already, the size you have will be fine! The first few rows will not fit you will have to pull the cord out between stitches as you work around and about 4 or 5 rows in you will see that it start to fit on the needles.

Alexandra Carey Hoppe You can always magic loop anything too small to fit on your needles, i can never find longer needles so i save my money for them (bc they are more expensive) so that I can use them for more things, especially since i stick to size +10 (mostly 13)

@ebbyboo2010 4 жыл бұрын

for the sleeves, what size needles did you use? I'm using smaller 10mm needles and the plastic part in the middle seems too long to join the sleeve in the round.

@erinlizabethw 4 жыл бұрын

The ones I used were 13” I believe. For the first 4 rows the wire will absolutely be too long, you can just pull the wire between stitches as you make the first 4 or 5 rows work and after that it will fit! Don’t worry it will not affect your final result. You can also use double pointed needles if that is easier but I don’t personally find that to be the case
