Trouble Understanding Knitting Pattern - dog sweater

Jan 04, 2009 0 Replies

------------------------------------- Learning yarnwork - again!!



I'm trying to make a dog sweater because we moved to Sweden and my dog is freezing!! I picked what it said was easy but it lied! I've done the ribbing - I think it's moving from the neck to the back but I'm not sure. I currently have the following on my needle - Knit 11, bind off 10, Knit



80, bind off 10, Knit 11. The bind offs are for the leg holes which I am assured will all 4 be worked later in the pattern. What confuses me is the next line in the pattern "Beg with a purl row,work 2 1/2" in stocking st from bound off sts ending with RS facing for next row". Do I do just a small section of do I somehow skip over the leg holes? It doesn't make sense and because I am relearning after a 25 year break - I'm not very confident with taking out stiches and picking up at an earlier point (not as easy as in crochet - for me anyway). If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it! I've got a cold puppy!!
