Would someone be able to help me out with this. I have never run into this in knitting before.
This is the row, but there are others like it:
K4, k2tog, yo,*k1,yo,ssk,k3,k2tog,yo,k4,k2tog,yo
Repeat from * to last 3 ending at,kfb, k2
I know that you repeat between the * and the *, but now there is the ** and it continues.
I have 142 stitches on my needle,
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Welcome to KH!
Where is the double asterisk in the pattern? Can you tell us the name of your pattern?
The forum software uses asterisks to mark italics so it might be easiest to write out asterisk or double asterisk or use abbreviations where they occur.
Usually you work the stitches between the asterisks a given number of times and then work the double asterisks. Sometimes the double asterisks indicate an area on the back that is repeated on the front of say a sweater.
Hello. Sorry about that. I thought both ** were in there. I have included the photo. The pattern is from Yarnspirations and is the Asymmetrical lace knit shawl. Thank you.
No problem.
13th row: K4. K2tog. yo.
For row 13 K4. K2tog. yo. Then work the repeat. The repeat is
The other rows that you marked follow a similar pattern, Knit the repeat from single asterisk through the double asterisk up to where it says, “Rep from …”. When you get toward the end, with not enough sts to work a 14 sts repeat and the ending instruction, you’ll know to end the repeat at the double asterisk and then finish out the instructions for the row.
See if that helps and if not come back and ask. Actually, you might find the chart easier to follow than these written directions.
Thank you. I think I understand now.
