Sirdar 4508 baby jacket

I have knitted main part but I am having problems with the sleeve on the 6th size (1-2 yrs) on row 3 of lace pattern. Row 1 I believe gives you a single hole pattern at beg and end of the row but in row 3 and 5 this changes to a double row of holes.There are double hole patterns further along so I do know how to do them. I also have completed this before in a smaller size with no problem. I have tried reading this over many times and starting again but I feel I am missing something. Row 3 does not correspond with row 1 for me

Welcome to the forum!


Cute little jacket.
You can quote the third row if you think that would help. Don’t give us more than a row or two of the pattern please due to designer copyright.
It might be easier to avoid the eyelets at the very beginning and end of row here since they will fall into the seam anyway. Continue with the pattern (or half the pattern) at the beginning and end of rows 3 and 5. I’m not sure that’s the problem but seeing the row will help.

Thank you I have decided to use the single eyelet at beginning and the end as was worked in the main part of the jacket. It was just so frustrating trying to follow instructions which I did not think could be wrong :wink:

Good that you’ve figured out a way to work this. It’s all helpful experience in pattern reading one way or the other. I hope you’ll post a photo of the finished jacket. We’d love to see it.

(Oh, those directions can be wrong! I didn’t see much of an errata page for Sirdar and those corrections that were posted didn’t include this pattern.)
