Hi… Pat from the Jersey Shore here. I haven’t been here for a while, but I have a question about changing from knitting in the round to flat.
I’m trying to follow a pattern for a Cowl in the round that changes into a pointed kerchief at the bottom
It calls for stopping the knitting in the round, and then knitting flat—back and forth.
But, what confuses me, is that this process leaves a split in the fabric… A division.
Here’s the link to the pattern which comes up a PDF:
https://blog.nobleknits.com/s/F685-Mushishi-Kerchief.pdfIt says:
Front
You will now discontinue working in the rnd. You can now remove the st marker
Row 1 (WS): K2, p to last 2 sts, k2.
Row 2: K1, ssk, k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1—2 sts dec’d.
Row 3: Same as row 1.
Row 4: K1, ssk, work in established pattern to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1—2 sts dec’d.
Work rows 1- 4–18 times more, then work rows 1 and 2 once more. 6 sts on needle.
Next Row: K1, ssk, k2tog, k1—2 sts dec’d. 4 sts on needle.
Next Row: K all sts.
Next Row: K1, k3tog, pass the first k st over. 1 st rem.
Cut yarn, leaving a tail, and pull through last st. Fasten off. Weave in all ends and block .
Is this the correct way to do this? Seems something was left out of the pattern. Would love some insight into this. Thank you all so much. Happy Halloween from the Jersey Shore, Pat
