Forming Pleats
Hey guys,
I really hope that someone can help me with this forming pleats issue that i'm having. I'm knitting a bolero and the sleaves are bell, but are then decorated with a beautiful braided cable pattern. Therefore it is required that i decrease at the same time while pleating. The pattern reads as follows: Decrease Row once more. 96(100,108,112,116,120,124)sts. Ok so at this point i have 120 sts. Then the pattern reads. Form Pleats: Next row (RS): K3(2,3,2,1,3,2),(from pleat)to last 3(2,3,2,1,3,2)sts, k to end. 51(52,57,58,59,63,64)sts. Ok so i start with 120 sts and at the end of this row i must have 63sts (WTF) HHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!! Please help!!! ------------------------------------- /o)\ \(o/ ##-----------------------------------------------## Delivered via http://www.sewgirls.com/ Sewing Community of the Net Web and RSS access to your favorite newsgroup - rec.crafts.textiles.yarn - 25424 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## |

I'm so pleased to see Mirjam jump in! She is amazingly skilled, and
generous with her expertise, and when she gets this figured out for you it will be in great shape. |
