The last issue had to do with the armhole I'd mentioned - originally it said LEFT armhole, but was supposed to be RIGHT. That's been fixed, so you should be good to go.<br /><br />Happy knitting!<br />Sam<br />sam lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436015742236304907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13994708.post-74318188230046582932016-06-16T16:57:53.854-04:002016-06-16T16:57:53.854-04:00I'm thinking of making this vest.

I am at the back of the sweater now and having the same problem as above, namely--do you join the yarn at the back of the pattern on the right instead of the left? I think that must be it? I'm kind of scared to move forward. . .<br />And yr son is Gorgeous!

Have looked at your professor pattern to try and work out how to do this on two needles instead of in the round but can't seem to sort this out. Is there any chance that either you or somebody else has this pattern knitted flat please? Would so much appreciate this.

When it comes to starting on the back, the pattern reads: join yarn on the right side...should be the left underarm. Do you mean right vs. left or right vs wrong side of the garment? If one joins at the left underarm and casts off 8 sts, that only makes the left underarm wider and the right one terribly narrow, hence the lack of symmetry. But if you join at the right side it is the right underarm, is it not? Anyway, I crossed out left and wrote right on my copy and it worked! I finished the vest, symmetrical underarms and all. Thanks for this free pattern! It works up quick and will make an adorable baby gift. I think half the reason I fell in love with it when I saw it is because of your son! He is very sweet!

The other thing I noticed when I was finished is that the arm holes aren't symmetrical. Is it supposed to be that way?

After the body is knit, you divide the stitches so that you can knit the front flat and then the back flat. <br /><br />I hope that helps!sam lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436015742236304907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13994708.post-66467557261991221812010-04-30T13:02:57.595-04:002010-04-30T13:02:57.595-04:00Call me a dummy but I'm at the point of workin...Call me a dummy but I'm at the point of working on the back (42 stitches left) and am wondering if I should still be knitting in the round?
