Updated patterns!

I'm in the process of updating my old patterns, particularly the bibs, to include charts. I'm rewriting some of the directions to make the patterns even easier and including alternative methods for beginning the bibs and for making the ties. Look for these patterns in the sidebar to see which ones have been added. It's a slow process, but eventually, they'll all be there!

I love, love, love this cloth! I just knitted it up in about 2 hours tonight, and it turned out so cute! Thank you for the fun pattern! :-)

Am I doing something wrong.... Line 6 has 41 stitches but the working count is 38

Brittany said...

I think you might be counting wrong... Row 6 definitely only has 38 stitches. I think you might be accidentally repeating a step in that line.

Row 6: p1, k1 for 13 sts.; k3; p1, k1 for 11 sts.; k5; p1, k1 for 6 sts.

I don't understand how it can have only 38 stiches, what am I doing wrong?

Unknown said...

Hi can someone clarify for me on row 6 do you p1 k1 for 13 sts or p1 and k13 please thanks

I haven't tried this pattern yet, but I am thinking you *p1, k1* 6 times, p1 (13 sts), then proceed with the rest of the row - k3, p1, etc.

I have not worked this pattern yet, but as I look at row 6 I think you *p1, k1* repeat * to * 6 times, p1, (13 sts), then proceed with the rest of the row - k3, p1 . . .

Hi, how much wool would you say we need for this pattern? It says 1 skein but that doesn't mean anything to me. :-/ Thank you in advance!
