    Hi Johnny
    I have seen many beautiful stitches on this site and my question is how can I incorporate them in a sweater pattern is there a formula? I can do the revision until I get to the underarm. I cant figure out what part of the pattern to omit. I have only made bottom up sweaters would it work for a top down ? Maybe if you get enough requests we can do a class on how to use the different stitches in our patterns, they are so full of texture and beautiful . NEW STITCH is part of my morning routine with coffee thanks for the wonderful website.

      That’s a pretty complex question so I can’t really address it here in the comments. If you want to suggest a class on that topic we’ll definitely put it on one of our future surveys.

    If working this in the round, how would you work rows 4 & 8 with the yarn overs and arounds? Thanks!

    • Johnny Vasquez says:

      you would swap them, do the yon first and the yfrn second. I haven’t tested it, but I’m pretty sure that’s how it should work.
