Free Shawl Collar Textured Knit Cardigan Pattern

Huge mistake in the pattern!

I half finished the sweater when I noticed a huge mistake in the pattern and had to unravel the whole work. Although, you might argue it should be intuitive to do so, not so much for a beginner. The pattern neglects to instruct to put 7 stitches on a safety pin on EITHER SIDE of the cardigan. To say I am disappointed is the understatement of the year! I expected better from a brand like Yarnspirations. 😢

• Thank you for letting us know about your issue. The instructions read: Next 2 rows: Rib to last 7 sts. Leave rem7 sts on a st holder. Since you are told to do this two times (for both sides), followed by a new stitch count 55 (59-63-67-75) sts rem at end of 2nd row, which is 14 stitches fewer than you originally had on your needle, we can confirm that the instructions are in fact included in the pattern. We are sorry to hear you had trouble with this pattern, but glad you shared your experience in case others have the same difficulty.

The pattern needs extensive revision

The pattern is incomplete. The instructions do not include the steps to incorporate attach the sleeves to the body of the sweater

• We are sorry the pattern was not clear to you. Working the yoke, the first row is worked across the front, the sleeve, the back, the next sleeve, and the other front. YOKE 1st row: (WS). With larger circular needle,P11 (12-13-14-16) for left front. PM. P18 (20-22-24-26) for left sleeve. PM. P25 (27-29-31-35) for back. PM. P18 (20-22-24-26) for right sleeve. PM. P11 (12-13-14-16) for right front. 83 (91-99-107-119) sts. This brings all of the stitches together and then you work the yoke for the entire garment at one time.

Sleeves: Dear Yarnspirations team. I’ve read through the Q&A section, yet I still cannot find the answer: when do I attach the sleeves? After I finish the YOKE section and just before I start on COLLAR & BANDS? And do I sew them on or knit? Thank you.

Re the Bernat Shawl Collar, I need some clarification. Am I picking up the stitches from the piece i started before making the sleeves?

At what point do I attach the sleeves?? The instructions are unclear after knitting the sleeves when/how to attach them, etc. If this is a beginner sweater the instructions should be clear. Please help.
