I am planning to knit a men's vest using
this pattern.
This is my first big and I want to make sure I understand the pattern correctly.
Back:
End on RS
Does it mean should I stop after knitting the right side or after knitting the wrong side row? If I am doing stockinette stitch, should I stop after the knit row or the purl row?
Change to larger needles
Should I slip the stitches from one needle to another knitwise or purlwise?
dec 20(20-22-22-24) sts evenly spaced across – 82(90-100-108-118) sts
I do k2tog after every 5 stitch?
Shaping armholes:
Bind off 6(6-7-8-9) sts at beg of the next 2 rows – 70(78-86-92-100) sts
Why only beginning of rows? Won't this make the piece asymmetric?
Dec 1 st each side every RS row 8(10-11-12-14) times – 54(58-64-68-72) sts
I decrement only on RS and not WS?
Trouble starts when I come to
Front. I just don't understand what I am supposed to do.
Shape Armholes and V-Neck: Next Row (RS): Bind off 6(6-7-8-9) sts, work until there are 34(38-42-45-49) sts on RH needle, sl center 2 sts onto holder, join another ball of yarn and k to end. Work both sides at once.
As the pattern continues, it becomes all the more complicated. Is there a tutorial which I can use?
