It sounds like you're doing it correctly. Knit 20 and then turn the work.

The instructions say - knit 20 and turn
leave remaining stitches on a stitch holder

I need clarification please that I literally knit 20 and then turn the knitting round

Hi Jean,

It means to form new sts based on the existing sts along the neck edges of right, left and back of body pieces.

For your instruction, you need to pick up and knit 41 sts from the right front, 42 sts from back ( you have to skip some sts to make sure the 41 sts are pick up evenly on the back) and 21 sts from the left. You will have 124 sts total on the needle.

Here is a video showing how to pick up stitches along the neck edge. It's to give you some idea of how to it.

Happy needling!
Ratcha
