HI,
I'm having a problem with this pattern and it's making me a little crazy - I'm so close to the end but I'm afraid the baby will have outgrown the sweater before I can finish it :(
Pattern: is Striped Sweater on p70 of Baby and Toddler Knits. It's also been published in a more recent book of hers.
Problem: I knit left-handed, which means the shoulders are reversed. they are not identical because of the button-over flap on one shoulder.
I am having a terrible time trying to knit the neckband, which also is not symmetrical because of the 2 different shoulders. I can post the directions from the pattern if someone can help me figure out how to change them appropriately.
Thanks!
