Hi, I looked at the pattern. The front has a border, so you knit the front, maybe 8 stitches and put those on a holder. Turn the knitting around and go back across the stitches you have and work the front. The stitches on the holder will be picked up later for the front. Same for the flat on the sleeve. It is a button covering that will be made after you finish, same as the front. Hope it helps. Bev
