Hi guys! I'm still working through my fair isle doll sweater. The pattern is gorgeous but unfortunately, the directions leave EVERYTHING to be desired. It calls for a placket in the front center of the sweater at the neckline. I guess oftentimes there are buttons there on real "people sweaters".
I can't tell from the directions how this is supposed to be. The top of the front is split into two pieces that work separately up to the shoulder. It just says pick up stitches with a crochet hook 2-3 stitches from the edge and knit in the pattern as pictured. I will put a link here for how the sweater will look when it's done, because it's hard to explain. I can't tell if the placket is supposed to be knitted so it can be folded over to the right side and tacked down, or if it is to be knitted right-side out, starting from the edge and thereby overlapping the two placket sides in the front, or what. I am SO confused! Can anyone help me here, please? I have frogged this thing a million times, but I must say, it finally is looking pretty good. I am pleased with the Kitchener stitching I put in to connect the front and back shoulders.
