Hi Marie,
Looks lovely.
I'm just doing the sleeves to this cardigan but as a newcomer to knitting I'm a bit stuck when it comes to the increasing. I'm knitting the 4th size. Wondering if you or anyone on here can help.
May seem like a silly question to all of you experienced knitters but after the rib when it sets the pattern 1-4th row it says to increase on 3rd row. Then the instructions say to inc 1 st at each end of 5th and following 6th row for the size Im making . So here's the question .....Do I STILL increase on the 3rd row at the same time or do I lose the M1 on that row and just increase on 5th then every 6th row. Not very good at explaining myself but hope you can understand. As I say probably obvious to you but ???
Thanks.

No increase on the 5th row after your rib. Then increase on the 6 row. To increase i normally knit make 1 then continue in the pattern to the last sticth were i make one again then knit the last stich. On the next row in incorporated the new stiches in to the pattern hope it helps
