[gmponzi]

I'm making a vest from Rowan and I'm stuck on this...can anyone help?? This is what it says: Working armhole AND front slope decreases in the same way as given for back armhole decreases, dec 1 st at armhole edge of next 3 rows, then on foll 2 alt rows AND AT SAME TIME dec 1 st at front slope edge of next and 1 foll 4th row. 37 st. Dec 1 st at front slope edge ONLY on 2nd and 4 foll 4th rows, then on 4 foll 6th rows. 28 st.

I'm so lost!!

Thanks,
Gina

When I have directions like this, I usually make a chart of which sides get decreases on which rows.

Arm edge - Neck edge
1d................1d
2d.................2
3d.................3
4...................4
5d..................5d
6...................6
7d..................7d
.....................8,9,10
......................11d
.......................12,13,14
.......................15d
.......................16,17,18
........................19d
.......................20,21,22,23,24
..........................25d
........................26,27,28,29,30
........................31d
........................37d
........................43d

It's late. I hope this makes sense.
