Hi! I have a question about an instruction in a pattern for a ribbed cardigan I am making.
I do not know exactly what it means and don't want to misinterpret. It is for the front right panel of the cardigan. I have already made the back, and it is 17 inches long until the shaping of the armhole starts.
No problem there.
But, for the front right panel I am doing now, it says "Repeat rib pattern until work measures 3 inches less than Back to beg of armhole shaping"
Does that mean I need to start the next section (which happens to be the armhole shaping) at 14 inches, because then one armhole would start 3 inches below the other.
Is that normal in a cardigan pattern?
The pattern itself is free and available here.
And I have attached the PDF for you. The part in question is at "RIGHT FRONT" and then "2nd Row.........,ending with a 2nd row"
Can you help me. My inclination is to start the next section of decrease for armhole and increase for collar at 14 inches (which is three inches less than where the armhole shaping started on the back, but I don't want to be wrong!
Thank you!
M Callan

Crochet and knitting are two different yarn crafts, and I do tend to get a little annoyed when TV shows or movies get them mixed up.
