I have a Crucci pattern that I am stuck on. It has an inset for left and right front. It says the following (but I’ve pulled it out (and all my hair) after the first completed row about 22 times. I dont know what to do after I’ve cast on 105 sts. Whether to knit chevron pattern which is under a separate heading or work the Row 1 instructions that follow after cast on. Here is the pattern for the inset and chev. and lace. I wish you luck. I’ve run out of mine :slight_smile:

I think the parts where it says ‘work chevron patt’ and ‘work lace patt’ then gives you rows after that are for working the beg and end of the rows. It starts -
“Row 1 - K1, K2 tog, yfd, rep from* in row 1 to last 6 sts, K1, yfd, sl 1k1, passo, k3.” There is no * in that row, but there is in R 1 of the Chevron pattern - “Row 1 - *K1, yfd, sl 1, K1, psso, K3, K2 tog, yfd.”

So you start the rows as written in the main instructions, do the pattern repeat as given below them, then finish the rows as in the main instructions.
