the dreaded divide for VEE NECK

[DavidSydney63]

OK - so it's been a while, but I've been busy and actually finished the green vest is was talking about when I was last here - it's wonderful, though the weather's too warm to wear it here now.

So, I'm now well into my second vest, this is a Vee Neck Cable Vest (no buttons, thank god).

I've completed the BACK,

I've completed the FRONT, up to the point where the pattern says

(Shape Armholes - which was basically casting off 8 sts at either end (keeping the cable pattern correct)).

and now I come to DIVIDE FOR VEE NECK -

1st row - K2tog, K35, P6 C4F, P3, TURN. Cont on these 49 sts.

And it's the "Cont on these 49 sts" that puzzles me ... so I turn my knitting around and head back to where I came from BUT do I knit the knit sts and purl the purl ones??

Hi David,
Yes continue back on the row with the pattern that you have been doing on the fronts. So if its basically stockinette (knit rows alternating with purl rows) and a cable flanked by purl sts, continue on the back with knit the knits and purl the purls as they face you.
