Schnapps and I apologize for being behind schedule! We've been very busy and can't really believe that it's already mid-February. We have a shawl that we are working on for a local auction and then we will be back to hat patterns, we promise. Schnapps has lots of ideas for new hats, but I keep putting him to work doing other things.

| This hat/scarf set was knit for the Kent County Public Library's Quarter Auction! |
This is a hat he made a few weeks ago that slipped through the cracks. This was knit using super bulky yarn, but the pattern includes details for all yarn weights.

It seems to me that there is an error in this pattern. On rows 3 and 4 threpeat is 4 stitches, but the remaining stitches only equal 3. Since the pattern is worked over 4 stitches, that means it is one stitch short. I a. Knitting with 2 circular needles instead of just one in the round. But I cannot see how that makes a difference since those 2 rows are multiples of 4 plus 3.

ReplyDeleteIs there a mistake in this pattern? Rows 3 and 4 appear to be worked as multiples of 4 plus 3, but the pattern is worked over multiples of 4.
ReplyDeleteNo, there is not a mistake. When you work the pattern you will see that.........the last repeat will end with 2 stitches because it started off centered. It it says work to last 2 and you will end with a k2, not a k3, because the round started with a k1.
DeleteSorry for the multiple posts. My tablet is doing something funky.
ReplyDeleteI am also struggling with this pattern. I am reading it and seem to end up with 3 stitches at the end rather than 2 just as "armo" mentioned above. Maybe some more clarification would be helpful. I love the pattern. It's a beautiful hat!
ReplyDeleteI did clarify the pattern above. When you work the pattern you will see that. I can not make it any clearer than to say that the pattern is written the way is is worked.
