Another pattern reading question, but this time I think it might be a type-o in the pattern.
It’s the pattern for the mitten I am making and it’s the part for creating the thumb gusset:
Thumb Gusset
Rnd1: K19, pm, M1, k2, M1, pm, knit to end - 42 sts
Rnd2: and all even numbered rnds: Knit
Rnd3: Knit to marker, sm, M1, knit to next marker, M1, sm knit to end - 42 sts**
Repeat Rnds 2 and 3 until there are 12 sts between markers
On round 3, I can only assume that is supposed to be 44 as I am making 2 more stitches?
Thanks, still a rookie at this and so glad to have found this forum!
Thanks - yeah it does - I just removed the thumb stitches and it reduced back to 40 sts just like the pattern indicates.
Now another question I have with this pattern:
when I’m measuring to know if i should move on “Continue even St st until piece measures 5’’ from the begining” How much should I be stretching the piece down to take this measurement? I have just been pulling it down lightly, kinda straightening it out.
