I’m knitting something in mosaic. And the rows are the repetition of
K…
K…
(Sl1 pw wyib, K1)… Sl1 pw wyib
(Sl1 pw wyif, K1)… Sl1 pw wyif
When I finish row 3 and turn my work I have in my left needle, from right to left, a st (not worked in row 3) and the thread it’s on the left of that st., “coming” from a purl st.
How do I sl the first st of row 4? Do I “ignore” the first stitch? If I do that then that st won’t be worked twice, leaving a small gap.
I’m sorry if this is a rookie question, but I can not find a solution. What I am doing leaves the thread around the edge (everything else looks fine).
Thank you so much.
Welcome to KnittingHelp!
What is the name and designer of your pattern?
It’s unusual for a pattern to call for slip stitch at both ends of a row. It stretches the end sts. It happens in this sequence for two rows and then the sts are knit for two rows.
According to these rows, you would slip the end stitch again at the beginning of row 4 then move the yarn to the back to knit the next stitch. This is going to drag that slip stitch up another row at each end.
It’ll be interesting to know the pattern and designer.
MC 1. K…
MC 2. K…
CC 3. (Sl1, K1)… Sl1
CC 4. (Sl1 wyif, K1)… Sl1 wyif
Abb
Sl1 - slip 1 stitch purl wise
Wyif - wyth yarn in front
I just assumed that in row 3 it was wyiB, otherwise there wound’t be the distinction, right? Maybe I created a problem that didn’t exist to begin with…
A lot of people, in Ravelry, did it in a way that there’s like a frame of main colour around. At least one did it the way I’m doing.
Isn’t it somewhat desagreable to name the designer? I’m knew in the forum, the last thing I want is to commit a faux pas, to hurt someone’s sensibilities.
Knowing the pattern and designer helps us help you.
There’s nothing wrong with naming the pattern and designer. Asking a question about a pattern is fine and often asking the designer is the best way to get an answer. We’re here to help since there is often a delay in response from designers.
It also gives all of us a chance to see and enjoy a new pattern, and perhaps buy or download it. In a sense it’s free advertising for the designer or yarn company.
We can’t publish large portions of patterns however due to designer copyright.
The best thing about washcloths is, it really doesn’t matter whether or not it’s perfect. They still work! It’s an attractive texture. I need some new coasters, and this looks like it would be great for that.
