First let me thank this team for responding to all my questions. I am at the right front of this project. The seed stitch band is on 18 inches an am supposed to make 3 buttonholes. The problem I have is one buttonhole at 18 inches the other at 20 inches brings me to where I should begin to cast off for the neck with not enough length here for the last buttonhole? What is the solution here? Thinking og ripping out and making a buttonhole closer yo the first. Am just tired of undoing my work.

Dear Sharon, could you remind us which size you are working on? If I'm right thinking you are working the largest size, buttonholes are worked when piece measures 15”- 18½”- 22” and you will bind off fro neckt when piece measures 22¾, ie after the 3rd buttonhole. Can this help?

Hi! Finally Working on the left front and I have a question: Where should I measure for length? The Stockinette area has a length of 31 cm with 3 stitches left to decrease. The moss stitch area measures 22 cm in length. My gauge in Stockinette is spot on after blocking. For the buttonholes I assume I would measure only the moss stitch area. And the Stockinette area for all other purposes. Please confirm.
29.10.2021 - 11:34DROPS Design answered:
Hi Sharon, for the buttonholes you should measure the moss stitch area,the stockinette area for all other purposes. A jumper or a jacket the length is measured from the highest point on the shoulder closest to the neckline. Happy knitting!

Hi! Thanks for answering all my questions. I am now doing the right side og this sweater. The double Moss stitch draws in and make this therefore shorter than the Stockinette side is 20 inches long and the moss stitch is 15 inches long. This is so confusing will this not affect where the buttonholes are made. The bottom is wider because of the shaping. What should be done here? Should I measure just the moss stitch band and follow the instructions for the bottom holes? S

Hi! Tok my calculator and the numbers for the largest size and they still don’t add up. I had 70 stitches after casting off for the sides. I have 3 stitches extra. Am to do do this cast off on another row. S

Dear Sharon, on the left front piece, you decrease for the armhole 3 sts 2 times + 2 sts 5 times + 1 st 4 times = 20 sts; there were 70 sts - 20 = 50 sts remain. Can this help? Happy knitting!

Hi! Am working the left front and I cannot get the numbers to add up. Using Nepal yarn. How many stitches am I supposed to cast off at the side of the left front. If I cast off 3 or 6 I have more than 50 stitches. Am ripping back and hope to get som help before I proceed. S
19.10.2021 - 21:34DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, if you mean about the casting off for the armhole, you should cast off "3 sts 1 time, 2 sts 0-0-1-2-3-3 times and 1 st 1-2-3-3-3-4 times " (depending on the size you are making. Happy Knitting!

Hi! Working the decreases on the back. Am I supposed to work the decreases of 2 stitches on the beginning and end of the knit and purl rows? What I did is knit the decreases between the edge stitches so as to make this easier to sew. I also added I inch of stitches to make a slightly larger sweater and follow the decreases stated for size 52. Thanks for your help about the decreases. Sharon
08.10.2021 - 11:52DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, you can bind off at the beg of next 2 row (from RS + from WS) or decrease on each side on a RS row inside the edge stich - just chooses what you rather lilke to. Happy knitting!

Hi, thanks for your quick response. Have looked at this pattern many times to see if I can find instructions/tipson how to make a size 54, but the size goes up to a size 52. I would like o also know how I could adjust the front to overlap perfectly. Thanks
06.10.2021 - 12:37DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, please undestand that we cannot modify our patterns to each individual request. Having said that, we would suggest you take a piece that fits the intended wearer and compare the measurements, and you might find that there is not that much difference. Also you can try a somewhat looser gauge to aquire a bigger piece with the same stitch and row cound. If there is further modification, then you have to recalculate the stitchnumbers yourself. Happy Stitching!
