Knitting for Olive Audrey Cardigan (kids) troubleshooting


Hello! I’m trying to figure out how I managed to get a purl row under the I cord neckline on the right side. I’d love it if someone could look at the pattern and my work, and see if you can “translate” how I did this. I thought I had followed the pattern but it didn’t turn out properly! Thanks so much in advance.

Welcome to KH!

You work looks very nice and neat so far. Even the purl row below the i-cord looks like part of the pattern.
It could be that you started the initial i-cord directions with the WS facing instead of turning to the RS. It could also be that when you placed the provisional cast on sts onto a needle and started working in stockinette, you had the purl row facing rather than the knit side of the row.
It’s up to you whether you rip back to change this but it does look neat to have the purl row just under the i-cord in this pretty cardigan.

Thank you so much! I am SO grateful for your help, time. I exhausted all (2) of my in person knitting resources, so it was so wonderful to find this outlet! I did undo it. I really want the simplicity of the I cord to shine.
