This week I have a sloper to show you and how we can fine tune it, taking the changes to the schematic. Then how to use Knitter's graph paper for charting the shaped areas.
This is associated with the ITAG - Set In Sleeve Swatch to Sweater Tutorial by Suzanne Bryan. You can find the pattern here - ravel.me/itag---set-in-sleeve-sweater-tutorial.
