Working on Bed Jacket----HELP Clearwater!

Okay, I've got the 50 x 20 in. piece done......okay.......please look at this diagram and tell me how I connect now.

 

B to A ? B to? and then ? to ?.........I'm so daft!

 

 

Thanks!

B connects to D

 

Work across the bottom

 

C connects to A

 

Work across the top

 

Then you will be working around the outside perimeter.

B - D is one armhole

C - A is another armhole

 

Just a note - I measure the 20 ins. from the nape of the neck to the top of my waist. If you are taller, or have a longer torso, you may want to make your rectangle longer.

How dare I bump my very important question down so far!

 

 

LOL.......I don't want to go further until I know what I'm doing.......just got enthralled with all the pretties here!

I started working on one of these yesterday, too. A child sized one for GD just to see if I could figure it out. Think I may make one out of "very expensive yarn" for display at the store. I think one out of the single ply yarns like Manos del Uruguay would be way cool. Or one of the really shiny cottons......

Okay so lemme see if I follow you...

When you connect B to D, do you slip stitch?

And when you work across the "bottom" does that mean thru both thicknesses? or just thru the foundation row layer? or is it the other layer?

 

and are the wholes at each end the armholes? Thanks in advance!

Yes. Slip stitch corner to corner. Work across the foundation row ONLY, to the next corner. Slip stitch corners together. Then work across the top row. Yes. The two openings on each side are your armholes.
