  1. Women’s modern sweater. I think the direction do not say enought no gauge no needle size or size chart. Yarnage for yarn

  2. Please can we have a sketch of the pieces.it says as per sketch in the pattern but I cannnot see one. It might be easier to know what it is supposed to look like at the back

  3. Row 7 of the back refers to a sketch, but I don’t see one. Is it possible to see the sketch or the back of this sweater?
    Thanks!

  4. Thank you my granddaughter is waiting for me to knit this. All I have to do is interpret your instructions which are a bit minimal. But here goes …..!

  5. Under the sleeve pattern, item 2, has me confused. I think it means that I should keep adding 2 stitches every 15 rows but the total stitches don’t come out to 92 unless I keep adding on.
    Can you clear this up for me, please.
    Thank-you.

  6. Before I get started I would like to see the back view. The schematic is helpful but an actual photo would be helpful.

  7. What size is the yarn? Like sport weight (3) or worsted (4)? I can’t find the yarn you used in order to be able to find a comparable yarn.
