“End with a wrong side row”. Does this mean end on wrong side ready to start new row on right side? Thanks.
What does this mean?
This is in some of the shawl patterns I do.
When your pattern tells you to end on a wrong side row it means that the last row you knit is the one on the wrong side (hidden side) of your project. So if you are knitting in stocking stitch (stockinette) the last row you work is a purl row so that you are ready to knit the next row. In other words the last row you work is on the bumpy side or the inside of your project, ready to work the right side (rs) or outside next.
Thanks for your earlier reply. I guess I’m confused by the word WITH. It says end with a wrong side row. For us of different English does this mean end ON a wrong side row?
Thanks.
I think the answer to your question is yes. The wording has confused many knitters for many years. I think it would be more easily understood if it said something like, end by working a wrong side row. Eventually I came to accept that whatever the pattern says it probably means to work the wrong side row. Usually looking at the next row’s instructions will make it clearer for me. If the next row is a right side row then I will have to work the wrong side row to be ready for it. If I’m not sure and am at a major change of stitch patterning or shaping a lifeline before proceeding gives me more confidence to continue and find out.
Thank you again for your sound reasoning.
