    Great yarn but problem directions

    Yarn is lovely. Pattern stitch is easy. Pattern directions are completely confusing. There are three paragraphs of questions above, all of the people are confused by the exact same problem I am having and none of the answers provided is helpful. Please rewrite the directions, and provide schematics that answer what was asked - where to attach the first string of 60 chains asked for in the second paragraph of p.3, back and neck shaping. The annotations you made on the schematic (in the answer above) is inadequate. Draw an arrow where to join. . Now, I am off to see what Ravelry says. Great looking sweater, great yarn, directions are opaque. Not even my highly experienced crochet teacher could not help me.

    • The chains are for the sleeve. On the front right, you chain after working the stitches across the front. When you turn the fabric over, you have to chain 60 and then work into the stitches across the back, at the end of the row, you chain again for the back of the left sleeve. Once you finish the back, you will need to work the left front and a chain for the left sleeve will be required before working into the stitches for the left front.

    Is there some way to get more help on this pattern? $50 on lovely yarn, still completely confused on where to attach the chain of 60 stitches. Teacher can’t help, previous answers can’t be understood. Please respond

    I have the same question as below but don’t understand your answer. Could someone add a diagram of where to join the chain 60?

    I'm so confused. Where do you reattach the wool for the back and sleeve shaping row 1?
