Hello i have got to see left shoulder together. I can understand how to pick up and knit stitches. But to I start beginning of right shoulder how to I get as inthe pattern red over right shoulder? Do I need to incorporate two button holes?

Has anyone done this in the stripe pattern? Would you be willing to share where in the pattern you made the change of colors? I would appreciate any help with that.

HI I am having a few issues with the pattern. So far I am at the part where I am shaping the neck. I have followed the instructions to a tee. I also have the correct number of sts to do. My problem is right where it says " Working both sides of neck with separate balls of yarn at the same time, bind off 2 sts at each neck edge twice." So after I have finished binding off I have 1 loop from doing the binding off , next to the loop I have 15 sts to do yet. It seem like there should be something in between the 1 left over bind off loop and the 15 sts. Where do I go from here?????

If the bind off is done correctly, there should not be a loop on the needle unless it is 1 or the 15 stitches to be left on needle. The bind offs will switch from side to side until they are completed, they can't happen on the same row or you will have the issue that you are experiencing now, a loop left over and no corresponding row to go with it. If you continue any way other than switching bind off side to side you will wind up with a big hole in your project. Hope this helps, easier to explain than to write out here.
