I think I’m going to frog this 1x2 ribbed scarf and start over, but I’d appreciate help on some problems that I encountered along the way.
Problem #1
On the right side of the work. The gold block is bowed along the right edge. I’m not sure what went wrong here.
Problem #2
On the reverse side of the work. On the left, close to the top, there is a yarn strand positioned horizontally from the inside of the salvage edge to the outside of the salvage edge. Is this a dropped stitch? Can this type of error be fixed by tinking down and using a crochet hook, or does it require ripping down severally rows to the problem and redoing?
Problem #3
The white yarn that is being carried up the edge is too visible on the front and reverse sides of the work. Is it possible to carry the yarn up the side invisibly? My method was simply to flip the white yarn over the gold yarn from front to back with the right side of the scarf facing me. Is there a better way?
problem #4
The right and left edges of the scarf are different. I’d like for them to look the same on each side.
My goal design for the front of this scarf is a double seed stitch salvage edge on each side with alternating rows of K1, P2 stitches between the salvage edges. For this messed-up version I casted on 25 stitches. I think I can fix this by casting on 24 stitches then K1, P1; P2, K1 to last two stitches; P1, K1. The reverse side would be K1, P1; K2, P1 to the last two stitches; P1, K1 (the selvage edges are the same on each side to achieve the double seed stitch pattern). Does this fix sound right?
I appreciate everybody’s input. Thank you. now tI’m to
