I'm knitting the Marokko Shirt by Atelier Ajour.

The pattern says that we will add a total of 3 CO sts, 2 at the beginning and 1 at the end. But the descriptions of rows 1-4 only have 1 CO st. Where do the aforementioned 3 CO sts occur?

(The chart doesn't include any CO.)

I'm so confused--any help would be appreciated! I reached out to the pattern designer in her Ravelry group, but she hasn't responded to any questions in almost 2 years so I'm not hopeful. 😅

For most sweaters, I wear an undershirt to prevent armpit felting, but for some sweaters, an undershirt looks weird. And for t-shirts it doesn't make much sense.

In your experience, how much silk/cotton/linen/etc does a yarn need to prevent armpit felting in a wool blend? Can I get away with a 75/25 ratio, or do I need to go full non-wool? I've knit with KFO silk before and it was really hard on my hands, so I'm hoping I can use a yarn with a little more give (i.e. wool).

Thank you in advance!
