back /front of Raglan
usually it isn`t adviced to decrease at edges , since here you dont
have a `real` edge in the raglan it is adviced to leave 1 st at both
`edges` which makes for 2 st betwen the t decreases ,,

There's no edge, this is a seamless raglan, and they sometimes have the
decs next to each other, with 1 st between or sometimes 2 sts between.
The knit 1 would be in the same place as the seam.

Thanks everyone for all your help and clarifications. I did as Sue
suggested and as explained by mirjam and both work out to the same so
I think I understand.
I have completed rows 7 and 8 and will move on to the next one (which
is detailed out in the pattern :))
I tell you for a new knitter getting through patterns is almost like
learning a new language...
Thanks again.
Catherine

You are Welcome Catherine ,,
You are right learning to read knitting instructions is a New
Language ,,,,,,
Now rmember you have here a 24/7 hour open Help Board ,,,,,,
You might consider buying some books with explanations ? are you also
into the historical background or more into how to ???
A very good help is keep a Copybook with `the story` of each work
date , name of work , which wool /cotton you used .
GUAGUGE VERY INPORTANT write all your efforts ,,,,,
20 stiches on needles number ? in pattern Y ,,,,,,,= So much cm or
inches [your prefference ,,,,
Measurements of future wearer
hips, waist lengths ,,,, sleeve [ inside = from arm pit to wanted
length ] Arm circumference under arm pit and at point you want it to
end ,,,, etc...
Any changes you made while working , either by choice or by need ,,,,
you also can tell your feelings ,, [ in mine you will find remarks
about the wool`s behaviours etc,,,,
Over the many years you will knit it will be a source of learning
remembering , advice and smiles !!!!
Best of luck
mirjam
