I’m not an expert but I’ve followed patterns and made blankets, hats, cardigans etc I even ventured out and made a lovely cabled cardigan for my cousin when he was born.
I’m expecting a baby next year and would love to have this pretty cardigan finished before she arrives!
I just keep getting stuck on a part. I’ve actually restarted 4x and I’m close to giving up. Please can you help?
I end up with 135st
Then when I go onto the first row, I ended up with less than 135sts!
When I checked it by actually calculating how many sts I’d need, I end up using all 135sts.
I get the feeling that I’m doing the yarn forward, slip1 and then knit 1 wrong? Or the yarn forward, knit 1,yarn forward wrong.
It says slip1 knitway which I don’t get.
People online have said its an easy pattern and I’m almost in tears thinking that I’ve lost my way. It’s been 2 yrs since I last knitted!
I even decided to continue to row 3 and ended up with 93sts. I’m definitely going wrong!
If anyone can shed some light or suggest something I’d
Thank you, yes that makes sense as when I wrote it out in paper it all counted towards 135sts.
I’m definitely doing something wrong when I yarn over.
If you wouldn’t mind, please could you explain or correct me in the following.
When yfwd, k1, yfwd. Do I keep the yarn in front when trying to do a knit? As in does the yarn twist around from the front to do that I can do a knit?
When doing a yfwd, s1 (knitwise), k1. After I do a yarn forward and take out the slip1, do I bring the yarn to the back to do a knit or should it again twist around?
I hope that makes sense, apologies if it doesn’t. I’ve done leave patterns before so I’m really stunned that it’s not working out for me.
