Hello ... Welcome back ..

Hello ... Welcome back ..
When I saw this video and I immediately started knitting .. But during the knitting I found that I do not understand the formula at all and I regret it, even if it is written easy ... ? I'm really confused and since I'm from the Czech Republic, I don't even understand your description on your website ... Thank you

Hi Veronika,

Hi Veronika,
You are a very careful crocheter (you did much harder projects), so I'm 100% sure you can do this top too. I do not know how far did you go with your knitting project or where did you get stuck. If you write me more details about your issue, I'll help you out.
The formula for this sweater is to increase sts from 4 corners only and work the pattern every 3 rows/rounds. Each time you work the pattern row, your number of repeats should increase by one between each corner.

Thank you very much for your

Thank you very much for your answer ... I appreciate your efforts.
I got into the sweater yesterday and after watching your video I recognized that it is a really simple pattern. But when I got into it I found myself completely confused. I have knitted raglan and horns ..
I did not understand the procedures of the series .. I know that every second even line is different otherwise nothing .. You have a beautifully explained video, so the error is not on your side but on my.And for that I apologize ...

Hi Veronika,

Hi Veronika,
On the picture you may see the first three rows of the pattern. You may use markers for each corner, so you can see them better at first. Abbreviations are at the bottom of the page. I can knit you a sample as well, if you'll need it.
