How do you cast on when you are knitting a sweater?
I am knitting a sweater for the first time. I am making the back and when it’s time to make the sleeve, it says to cast on stiches. How do you cast on for the sleeves if you have already knit 13” for the back?
The stitches you have for the back should be put on a stitch holder. You can get them at a craft store and they look like an oversized pin. You would pick up the stitches when you have the sleeves and the front made. Look further into your instructions and you will find the info. Also check the pattern as the 13″ you mentioned [if it's for an adult] would only take you from the beginning [bottom ribbing] to the bottom where the sleeve joins the back and front of the sleeves. It should go on further and tell you to decrease X amount of stitches and then X amount every X amount of rows until you have X amount of stitches on your needle. These are the ones you put on the stitch holder. If this does not ans. all your questions or I can help you any further check my avitar and e-mail me.
