well I just finished mine. It was a little confusing with the sleeves, once I figured it out I was able to make the sweater.

I felt the pattern was not even. the shoulders were uneven at the neck and the hood was attached to the front neckline. I did not care for the pattern.

I got through the directions ok, but next time I think I will add ribbing at the wrists, the sleeves seem a little short.

I was able t figure out the sleeve confusion, but I am concerned that the sleeve will be too short. Is this suppose to be a shot sleeved sweater?

It looks like this sweater has caused some confusion First one small thing that might be adding to the confusion--in the Notes on the instructions it does mention that the chain for the turning chain doesn't count as an hdc so that could be causing some of the confusion br br As for the construction of the garment here's a brief walkthrough of how it's constructed You start at the bottom edge of the back of the cardigan then add the sleeves to the left and right of the back then work the sleeves for a while then you make one front ending at the bottom edge of that front piece When you complete that front you end the yarn attach to the unfinished stitches on the other half of the sweater and make the second front Then you add the hood and the contrasting trim edging br br Where the…Read More instructions say Shape Sleeves you work the - chain stitches in the first row to add one sleeve and hdc in the rd chain from the hook and the next - chains then in the hdcs across the back Then to start the next row you do the same--working those chain stitches then working back in hdc as before Since you don't count the chain s as hdcs you're making - hdcs on each sleeve and working the - hdcs across the back--that's for the smallest for the medium and for the largest Remember you aren't counting the chain turning chains in the stitch count As you work the sleeves your piece will look like a T When you work the fronts they're worked as two separate pieces though the neck opening will look more like a slit not a round opening br br For lack of a better description of the sweater's shape when the back sleeves and fronts are all complete it will look a bit like a plus sign with the north-pointing piece split vertically The sleeves will be the two side pieces and the back will be the south-pointing piece br br When you get to the finishing step you fold the sweater in half so the sleeves are folded along what would be the shoulders The bottom edges of the front and back will be even and you'll have that t-shape again You'll sew the sleeve seam turn at the armpit and sew down the side seam Do the same on the other sleeve and side seam br br Hope this helps

I am working this sweater too and I am at the same place...are we supposed to add 13 chain on each side for sleeves and then work the pattern? If I add the 13 chain afetr working the first sleeve and then work across the back then the pattern and count is off.

I tried to do this sweater but the section on the sleeves is unclear are these sleeves suppose to continue on from the back piece? I wasnt sure if I was suppose to end when i finished the back and start from scratch on the sleeves? or are the sleeves suppose to continue on from the back? I'm a bit confused what the 58 is? I am doing the smallest sweater but im not sure what the 58 is suppose to be. Shape sleeves Next 2 rows Ch 13 (15-17). 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook. 1 hdc in next 10 (12-14) ch. 1 hdc in each hdc of row. Turn. 58 (64-73) hdc at end of 2nd row. Work 12 (12-14) rows even.
