Hello.
I am Nao, I am trying to knit a teddybear from Debbie Bliss Simplybaby, page 67.
I could not understand this below, please will you help me?
Body
Make 2 peices, beg at shoulders.
With size 3 needle, cast on 22 sts.
K 10 rows.
[COLOR=“Red”]Cont in garter st and inc 1 st at each end of next row and 6 foll 6th rows. 36 sts.[/COLOR]
K 7 rows.
I don’t understand what [U]6 foll 6th rows[/U] is.
Cont in garter st and inc 1 st at each end of next row and 6 foll 6th rows. 36 sts.
Not sure about the ‘6 foll 6th rows’…is this typed correctly?
k inc both ends this is the ‘next row’ …24 sts
*k
k
k
k
k
k inc both ends this is the 6th row …26 st
It may be asking you to repeat the last 6 (from *) 6x. Working the seq (from *) 5 more times…after what I posted above… (which is 10 more incs) would give you total of 36 sts.
I am also knitting a baby Shrug.
I could not understand “cast-on” after knitting some rows.
Like this…
Back, front, & Sleeves
Work in one piece.
With size 8 needles, cast on 8 sts.
P 1 row.
Beg with a k row, work in St st.
[COLOR=“Red”]Cast on 13 sts at beg of next rows.[/COLOR] 60 sts.
Beg with a k row, work 30 rows in St st.
Change to size 8 circular needle.
Shepe Sleeves
[COLOR=“red”]Cast on 8 sts at beg of next 8 rows.[/COLOR] 124 sts.
Are “Cast-on” and “increase” same thing?
I don’t understand about that.
Please help me!
I am making Debbie’s baby shrug right now.
I have a 8 side circular needle with 124 sts and making a back of shrug.
I finished Back, front, & Sleeves and shape sleeves. and then this below.
Here is my question:
[B]Divide for fronts[/B]
Next row k52 sts, leave these sts on a spare needle, bind off next 20 sts, k to end.(total 124 sts)
[COLOR=red]Cont on last set of 52 sts for left front.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Work even for 5 rows, ending at front edge.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red][B]Next row[/B](right side)k3, M1, k to end.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Work even for 3 rows.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Rep the last 4 rows 4 times more and the inc row once more. 58 sts.[/COLOR]
I did knit 52 sts and binded off 20 sts, and knit 52 (left sleeve)st.
I could not understand after that. I worked in St st for 5 rows.(Left side 52 sts) Is that right?
And how can I go to Next row(right side) k3, M1, k to end if the working yarn is left side. I wish I could post my phote, but I don’t know how.
Please help me, I would like to make this shrug for my baby!
Thank you.
So you mean,
[COLOR=#ff0000]Cont on last set of 52 sts for left front.
Work even for 5 rows, ending at front edge.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Next row(right side)k3, M1, k to end.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Work even for 3 rows.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Rep the last 4 rows 4 times more and the inc row once more. 58 sts.[/COLOR]
for the left 52 sts side?
So why does it say “Next row (right side)”??
It doesn’t seem to be complicated but the instructions are so vague and confusing …
K 10 rows, does that mean k 10 rows, THEN starting at row 11, increase 1 st at ea end? Or CO 22 and start inc right away.
Also, is there a specific inc technique recommended?
Then, in line with the original question, “inc 1 st at ea end of next row and 6 foll 6th rows. 36 sts”. Does that mean, k 5 rows and on the 6th row inc 1 st ea end? So that I’ve got like 30 rows before I’ve inc’d to 36 st?
