Help with my knitting pattern

Sunday, July 19, 2020 at 8:52 PM
HELLO, dear knitting community,

I’m currently having a problem with my short jacket with raglan sleeves and hope someone can help me.
For the back piece, the pattern says:

“Alternately bind off 2 sts every 2nd and 4th row 19 times, and alternately bind off 2 sts every 4th and 6th row 8 times.”

What does that mean: bind off in row 2 of the basic pattern, knit to the end of row 6, then start the basic pattern again in row 4 and knit the pattern to row 6, repeat that 19 times, and then do the same 8 times with rows 4 and 6...?

Or

In the basic pattern, bind off in rows 2 and 4, finish knitting the basic pattern to the end of row 6, and then repeat the whole thing 19 times?

What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Lisie
have you already asked the author? She will certainly be happy to help you.

I would do it like this:
On rows 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 16, 18, 22, 24, 28, etc. until you have decreased 19 times .
Then decrease afterward on rows 4, 6, 10, 16, 20, 26, 30, 36. , = 8 times

Have fun knitting.

Thank you so much for the reply, Wollefaden😁
That’s exactly how I saw it, and I just knitted it that way 👍
Thanks again
