Row 3 of the body totally lost me. I’m an advanced beginner, but I’m confused with skipping, the
fptr in skipped ext sc. Please help.

Hi Brenda~ This part is the small cables on each side of the larger cable. It is worked over 3
sts total. Think of them as sts 1, 2, 3…. Skip stitches 1 & 2, work a Fptr around st #3, then
work a ext sc in st #2 (the one in the middle), then work a FPtr around st #1 (this makes the
cross of the cable). A good rule to remember here is that all of your post sts will be worked
around post sts. I hope this helps!

When you measure the sweater at the end, does it include the collar? Or do you measure from
where the body of the sweater starts. Thank you…. Lovely pattern x

Hi. I want to make this sweater, but I don’t see how to make the leg openings? Does it have
opening for both legs, or is it just split somehow? I hope it’s not a dum question, I’m totally blind
so I can’t see the pictures or I’d probably know the answer.

Hi Melanie.

After you work the neck & neck edging, you begin the body of the sweater. Take a peak at
the stitch counts here as you don’t work all the way around the neck. You’ll work in rows
that are shorter than the neck circumference. This is where the hole for the legs is created.
There aren’t 2 leg openings, just one wider one as I prefer this style…easier to get on and
off the pups.

I hope this helps!

Jennifer
