Hi all,
I’m new to this forum (and newish to knitting having started in July 2020); so please forgive my nervousness, over formality and ignorance. I’ve already learned how to knit a fair few things of varying complexity: hats, socks, fingerless gloves, one top down raglan sweater with relative success.
I’m working on The Witching Hour by Dear Ingenue (a beautiful “swoncho” pattern) and I’m really stumped by this section for making the short row shaping after the collar). I would be eternally grateful if someone could explain it to this dumb newbie.
It is as follows:
SHORT ROW SHAPING In this section you will be working flat, going back and forth across the beginning of the rnd
Short Row Set-up Rnd: K 88 (96, 105, 114, 123) sts, place unique CBM, k to end
Short Row 1 (RS): K to CBM, slip marker, k 30 (33, 35, 38, 40) turn
Short Row 2 (WS): Dbl St, p 60 (66, 70, 76, 60) turn
Short Row 3: Dbl St, k to 3 sts before Dbl St, turn
Short Row 4: Dbl St, p to 3 sts before Dbl St, turn
Rnd 1: K to EOR (Note: This is not a full rnd, only the rest of the round from the previous Short Row. Remove CBM when you get to it)
Rnd 2: K, when you come to a Dbl St, knit it as if it was one st
The bits I’m stuck on are “Short Row 4: Dbl St, p to 3 sts before Dbl St, turn”
If I turn here and start knitting Rnd 1 then I create a gap? I’m not sure EOR means end of round or end of row? It’s not listed in the abbreviations.
That’s all that’s written for the short row section. The pattern doesn’t tell me to repeat any of it. I feel like I’m missing something obvious. I don’t know if anyone can clarify what she’s saying (in a kind of knitting for dummies way)? I’m really determined to knit this pattern and I don’t want to give up on it.
Many thanks!
