I do believe when I finished all three pieces that the back was longer than the 2 front pieces (incl short rows) because the back comes further up the shoulder than the front pieces do. When stitching up your seams, make sure the bottoms of all 3 pieces (and the 2 side seams) line up and go from there. I then stitched the front 2 panels and the back along the shoulder seam. Very last is the hoodie! 2. The 3 st decreases are along the inside of the neckline, and not the sides. Before row 74, you should have a flat, boxy edge where the neckline will be, with just a few short rows on each side that will build a sideways triangle. This will give you a boat style neckline, and you can stitch together the front panel and this short row section a bit to make a tighter neckline. When the hoodie gets sewed on, it will also shape this neckline a bit more. Does all of that make sense? :) 1.

Following your suggestion, I am making it asymmetrical. Now I am at the back neck/shoulder line. Can you please clarify a couple issues? 1. The lengths of front (21") and back (22") are different. Is it for hoodie attachment? 2. I am confused around the back neck/shoulder line. From instructions for after row 74, it appears that edge sides are straight (no decrease) and the neck line is being created by 3 st decrease on RS. Or should the straight edge be on the neckline (which create a square box corner) and 3 st decrease on the shoulder side (which creates the sharper raglan decrease)? Thanks. W. Hi, Jillian.

You could make them symmetrical with the back (i.e. 40/48/52 front, 80/96/104 back), but I worry the sweater would hang open too much.

I appreciate your assistance on clarifying the cast-on. As I started to knit, I noticed the different ratio in cast-on for front and back (supposed to be the twice of the front) and the width of two front pieces are much wider than the back. Is it supposed to be this way??? For clarification, which one of cast on is correct? 1. the front cast on 40( 48,52) and the back cast on 80 (96, 104) 2. the front cast on 40 (42, 44) and the back cast on 80 (84, 88) 3. OR something else. Thanks. W I like your pattern. I appreciate your assistance on clarifying the cast-on.

For the even of rows 1-32, you will k1, p1 across the row, creating 1 X 1 ribbing. 2. Yes. 3. I will go back and edit this one- you are only reversing the EDGES on the right side. The rest will be symmetrical following the pattern same as the left side (i.e, for rows 1-32, you will decrease at the BEGINNING of the rows 3, 7, 10, etc, and also decrease at the BEGINNING of the raglan decrease rows.) Thanks for your questions, I aim to make this pattern better if I can! :) 1. For the even of rows 1-32, you will k1, p1 across the row, creating 1 X 1 ribbing.

For the even rows, what exactly do you mean by "working stitches as they appear"? 2. In the Lace Section, are the pattern changes for the L & X-L sizes supposed to be continued in rows 45 & 47? 3. For the Right Front, do you literally reverse the completion order of stitches? i.e., the row 1 K1, P1 becomes P1, K1? Row 37 would become: p1 (3, 5), k1, p1, *k2tog, k3, YO, k1, YO, k3, k2tog* twice; k1, p1, k1 (3, 5)? Thanks much for a beautiful pattern; however I have some questions:
