Hi…I have a question on this pattern. I want to make sure I’m understanding it before I find out later it was wrong. I’ve goggled this question, searched everywhere to see if ANYONE else encountered this. Many people have knitted this so…
Just starting the garter ribbing. I did the first decrease row. This is where I’m lost. I have 226 stitches on my needle set-up and worked like this:
([B]WS)[/B] P1, (p2.k2) [B]13 times[/B] (for my size)
then p2,
(k1 for [U]seam stitch[/U])
p2.
Then second set of sts, (k2,p2) [B]28 times[/B]
(k1 for [U]seam stitch[/U])
the last set of stitches are (p2, k2) [B]13 times[/B], p3.
([B]RS)[/B] Knit, but make the [U]seam sts rev stockinette sts[/U].
I did this for required number of times. Now I’m to the decrease row which is [B]SSK [/B]2 sts before the seam sts. Purl seam st.[B] k2tog[/B] on the 2 sts on other side of seam st. I did this all the way across leaving me 4 sts less.
Now…when I do the RS row, I’m fine I just knit. The problem lies when I do the WS row again. The pattern doesn’t tell me to compensate for the 4 less sts.
Do I just continue knitting knowing I’m 4 sts less and just do a p1 instead of p2 on each side of seam sts? I just found this odd that no one else is having this problem.
(So…it must be me?!) LOL!
Am I losing it, or is this how patterns are written usually and I’m just noticing it?
THanks for any help
