METHOD

Sweater
With color A, cast on 32 stitches.
Row 1 (RS) k8, PM on last knitted stitch
(and not between stitches), k4, PM on last

k4, PM on last knitted stitch, k8
This way, you have 7sts, 1 marked st, 3sts, 1 marked
st, 8sts, 1 marked st, 3sts, 1 marked st and 7sts
You could see this as 7-1-3-1-8-1-3-1-7.
You can move the marker as you go.
For example, for row 3: k7, m1r, k1 and you mark that
stitch instead of leaving the marker on the previous
row.
