I’ve been wanting to try one of Åsa Tricosa’s Ziggurat cardigans, and have finally settled on “Tric”.
It’s not even the unusual construction (top down with seamless set-in sleeves)–I haven’t gotten that far! It starts at the center back neck, and I’m a wee bit confused on the collar.
From the list of stitches:
sl1^ Wyf, sl1 purlwise, pull on yarn over and behind needle until both legs of st show (see link for German short rows)
k^ Knit through both legs of ‘pulled-tight’ st (the sl1^ from a previous row) as if it were a normal, single st
I’ve cast on 24 stitches and worked a set-up row and the first 2 rows of the pattern. The ribbing alternates between 24 and 14 stitches, depending on which row.
The issue comes with the German Short Rows, which don’t seem to line up.
Row 3: Sl1^, (yo, p1) 8 times, k1, sl1wyf, k1. (24 sts)
Row 4: Sl1wyf, k1, sl1wyf, (k1, p3tog) 4 times, k1^, p3tog, sl1wyf. (14 sts)
The slipped short row stitch (Sl1^) comes right on the edge, but the stitch to resolve the short row (k1^) happens with 5 stitches left? Or 4 stitches and the double stitch on the edge. I’ve tried knitting the k1^, doing the last p3tog and then slipping the double stitch on the edge, and it seems to work, but I’d love to know what I’m actually supposed to be doing!
The pattern has been out for 12 years, and there are 182 projects on Ravelry. AND there’s a discussion thread, but this issue doesn’t seem to have been addressed. So it would seem I’m the only one having an issue with it, but I just don’t get how the Sl1^ and k1^ are meant to align. I have posted this question on the discussion thread, but thought I’d check here as well.
