TODDLER SHORT SLEEVED PULLOVER
This sweater is yet another adaptation of Gail Bable’s 5 Hour Baby Boy Sweater, which was based on the 5 Hour Baby Sweater originally posted on Knit List. There are several adaptations on Bev’s Country Cottage.
SIZE: 12-18 months
Garment measures 25 inches
MATERIALS:
Approximately 4.0 ounces worsted weight
Size US 10 (6.0 mm) 24 inch circular knitting needle
Markers
Tapestry needle
GAUGE: Approximately 4 sts to 1 inch
NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. This pullover can fit a child up to about 4 years old just by making the body a few inches longer before starting the hem ribbing.
3. When joining the two edges I cut the yarn, so that the garter stitch stays uniform. If you don’t cut the yarn, but just continue across to the other edge you will have two knit or purl rows together and it does show a little. It bugged me, so I tried several ways of fixing it. The only thing I found to work satisfactorily was to cut the yarn and start over. A side benefit of doing it this way is I was able to reinforce the join with one of the tails.

I am an advanced beginner. I can not figure out Round 33. I slipped the 3 stitches to the left hand needle.. do I know turn and begin the next round?

got to row thirty and the count is off..re: placing markers, after following instructions the first count is 26 stitches, not 23 for the first front...am I missing something?
Row thirty, those counts are off, after M1 and increasing, I get 26 stitches not 23 and next round was thirty, not 26...what's wrong?
Row 30....the count is off, after first increase i have 26 stitches, not 23 and next increase is 30 not 26, what am I missing ?
Stitch counts are right on. Rather than missing something my guess is you worked extra increases some where.
please can you explain for mi row 37 38 and 39 i can't get it cause i am bigner otherwise i am very much correct till row 36 thank you very much
As long as you place your markers you should be able to just follow the instructions one step at a time.
