This pattern is based on, but not an exact copy of, a Nicky Epstein patter, with a bit of Hildie thrown in… so if there’s something wrong with it, we’ll blame her not me :teehee:

GOOD LUCK!!! xxx

R32-K2, P25, K2

Knit 4 Rows

Repeat Rows 31 & 32 for 32 total rows (end w/row 32)

wait a minute…i don’t get that… :shrug:

I think after you knit the 4 rows, you are supposed to repeat rows 31 and 32 for a total of 32 rows after that.

I might be wrong though. :shrug:

Yeah that’s right… you’re basically going tohave 2 halves… one has a pattern, and the other is just stockinette stitch with a 2 stitch garter border.

I thought that part might be confusing, sorry about that :pout:

So now I have a quick question. Does it matter what weight of yarn you use or the size of needles?

do we not get a picture? I dont’ know about anyone else but when I get stuck on a pattern it helps to have a picture.

'Tis a secret jberry16!!!

How about the fiber? Would we be best off to use wool, or cotton or???

You can use any yarn, and needles appropriate for that yarn. A slightly tighter gauge then recommended might be better so your stuffing dosn’t come out.

If I posted the picture, it would ruin the surprise!! You’re just going to have to trust my jedgement :teehee:

R13-K9, P2, K2, P2, K2, P2, K2, P2, K9

Okay… there’s three extra stitches on that row.

-EDIT- It should be…

R13-K9, P2, K2, P1, K1, P1, K2, P2, K9

yep, you’re right!!! I knew I was going to type it wrong. :doh:

I fixed it, thank you :muah: for pointing it out. I remember, I got a phone call when i was typing that row and got all screwed up. stoooooopid telemarketers.
