Thanks so much! I may be needing more of your expertise- as I have continued to read this pattern, I realized this is beyond my skill set as a knitter… I will press on and continue asking questions as I go along :slight_smile:

It’s on the job training. I learn things as I need them. Whatever questions you have someone should be able to help. Happy knitting.

I just want to clarify here… I am finding this really confusing. I have started on the right side, knit to 5 stitches before the marker, wrapped and turned- purl to the end of the row. Then the next row is knit, and just conceal my one wrap right? I just want to get this right, there is a row between each short row, is that correct?

  • Row 1 [RS]: K to 5 sts before second marker, W&T.
    Row 2 [WS]: P to 5 sts before marker, W&T.

I think this is the part of the pattern you’re asking about. After the first w&t, p to 5 sts before the second marker and do another W&T. You don’t purl to the end of the row. It looks like you’ll have one wrap to conceal, yes.
