A Knit Men's Sweater

I'm stuck at the sleeve increasee for it to measure 18.5" (large). With all the above comments it doesn't make sense.

Hi there! This comment from Dragonfly3044 should hopefully help: "For those of you that were having trouble with the sleeves of the sweater. When you get to the 6th row increase your stitches by increasing 8 more stitches to that row. If you look at the sleeve instructions before the parenthesis the 4th row increases to 73 sts and then the 6th row increases to 81 sts. Therefore it make sense to increase by 8 sts for the larger pattern." This pattern can be found on the Yarnspirations website, and they may be able to answer your question too: http://www.yarnspirations.com/patterns/men-s-dropshoulder-sweater.html?id=184073 I hope that helps! -Dana from FaveCrafts

Veronica, it says to increase in the sleeves every fourth row until 93 stitches then every sixth row until 95 - just a misread of the numbers

another sweater for my Christmas plan - all hand-crafted and other than the yarn or other materials, nothing from stores -- now to make the best use of the time (I hope)

After you cast off the 38 sts on the next 2 rows, you are leaving the remaining stitches on a holder. You'll be using them later for the construction on the sweater. I know this is really late, maybe it will help someone else.

It would be nice if this pattern was updated with clearer instructions. For a first time sweater this is challenging to novices to understand.

the asterisks in a pattern denote which parts of the pattern to repeat. so , when it saids repeat from **-** as for back, you do exactly that, got back to the back pattern and find the ** and start there and continue to where the next ** are.

I have been trying to find out about a pattern of AKnit Man's Sweater By Bernat. When I got to the sleeves the direction don't make sence. It says to inc. every 4th row till you get to 95 stitches, then it says every 6th row till you get to 95 stitches, This doesn't make any sence. Thank You Veronica Craft 1-863-294-1809 e-mail rcraft@tampabay.rr.com

when you get to the sleeves, I think it was written wrong for the increases when you get to 95 stitches every 4th row then you say to increase every 6th row till you get to 95 stitches that doesn't make sence to me. Please help. Veronica

I have a question. On the sleeves where you are increasing the stitches, the first round you increase one at each end on the 4th row to 99 stitches and then again increase at each end on every 6th row to 99 stiches. Shouldn't this last figure be more?(for xlarge sweater)
