I'm knitting this pattern, and I have a few questions regarding this.
1st, at the top of the second column it says to begin with a purl row. Assuming that this is on a new ball of yarn because of the note in front of it, how many stitches am I supposed to cast on? All I know is that I have to knit it to 1.5 inches (I'm knitting a size medium).
2nd, right after the part I just asked about, there is a section that says joining row. I realize the joining row is supposed to join the 2 swatches together, but how exactly do I do that? The instructions just seem like normal knitting instructions?
Thanks so much! I'm fairly new to knitting so I'm still trying to figure what it is that I'm doing.
@Theresa B: if it helps I made the 'collar' a little longer so the measurement from starting to leg openings was longer. I also knitted a little longer after the back a little longer ( before you 'leave std on a spare needle').
Good luck and hope your Jack Russell enjoys his new sweater
