Le sigh...
I love that I'm designing this raglan sweater, even though I have no idea of the mathematics of raglans.45 minutes later, I seem to be on the right track. So, hey! Go me!
Edit: Oh wait, no I'm not.
See, I originally designed the thing using KnitWare. Which sucks. A lot.
I mean it doesn't, but it can't read my mind and know that the raglan I want to make is actually a seamless. KnitWare likes seams. A lot.
So, the underarm decreases before the sleeves go for 24 stitches over 4 rows (2 in the round), instead of 12 over 2 (1 in the round). And then there's the strange, strange bit of decreasing every 3 rows instead of every two. Though, Knitware's row count is usually very off.
I've also been checking raglan patterns with nearly identical stitch counts as mine (210 and 209 instead of 206) and these two patterns (with 1 less stitch) have radically different ways of doing the shaping.
Ack. I guess I'll just bind off 10 and decrease every other row until I run out of stitches, while following the directions for the neck decreases.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Sleeve caps are of the devil. Without them I could rule the knitting world! Rule it! Like a queen!
