   Hi, I’ve recently been going through patterns I’ve downloaded from the past, and I looked at yours again. It’s a very cute pattern, but now I’ve got questions regarding making the sweater.

   Size 9 circular needles
   Size 9 dpn

   3 balls of Lily Sugar N Cream

   The fronts are worked in K1P1 ribbing
   The arms and the back are worked in a 4 stch cable.

   4 stch cable pattern worked in the round
   1. P1 K4 P1
   2. P1 K2F, K2, K stch from cable Needle P1
   3. P1 K4 P1
   4. P1 K4 P1
   4 stch cable pattern worked flat
   1. K1 P4 K1
   2. P1 K2F, K2, K stch from cable Needle P1
   3. K1 P4 K1
   4. P1 K4 P1

   Co 50 stchs
   K4 Place Marker (front)
   K10 Place Marker (arm 1)
   K22 Place Marker (back)
   K4 place Marker (front)

   Work in Established pattern, making an increase of your choice 1 stch before and 1 stch after each marker.

   Continue making increase until the piece is big enough to fit over your shoulders. Place the stchs for the sleeves on holders and continue working on the body of the sweater until it is desired length.

   Pick up the sleeves for the arms and continue knitting until the sleeves are desired length.

   These are all the instructions I have. Are there any more instructions? I’m kind of confused as to making the sleeves for the sweater. Is this done all at one time (while making the body of the sweater)? As you might guess, I’m sort of a beginner knitter, because I usually crochet most things.

   Thanks for your time.
