Help Please!
currently knitting a baby sweater, pattern Sirdar #1818 (snuggley 4 ply) I completed the sleeves and started the back and fronts. Everything went well until I got to the part where the pattern says divide for back and fronts. It starts off with Patt3 and ends with Patt3. I can not find anyplace on this pattern where it explains what patt3 is, although patt3 is used often from this point on. I e-mailed Sirdar twice with on response. I visited the store where I bought this pattern, and they also were unable to help. Is any one formillar with this pattern? I would love any help you can provide.

Thank you,

Debbie

Where in the row does the patt 3 come in? Have you been working garter or rib on the edges?

Usually, 'patt x' means to work that many sts in the established pattern. That may mean stockinette, garter, rib, etc...

Suzeeq has the answer I think.

So does Ingrid in asking how the edge sts are done. It seems these should be the ones at both ends of the row.

pattern 3 starts the row and ends the row.

Okay, then you just continue in the same stitch pattern for the 3 sts at the beg and end of the row that you've been using.
