The directions say to knit to one stitch before the marker then slip 2 stitches together knitwise knit 1 and pass the two slipped sts. over the knit sts. What happens to the marker? It would appear to be caught in the middle of the sts. I guess I am a novice at interpreting Hanne instructions. thanks for any help.<BR/>BeaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387153.post-37884742808782533902007-02-07T19:01:00.000-08:002007-02-07T19:01:00.000-08:00You (or I) have old directions.

I knit the Lastrada and my pattern reads: "Work 12 more rows in colour A, (a total of 15 rows), 399 (415) sts rem on needle.<BR/>Work 2 rows in colour B. Continue in stripes as shown in the chart. Each square = 2 rows = 1 ridge.<BR/>When the garment has 28 (28) ridges including the Band (see chart), shape neckline...." <BR/>ALSO on my chart it says: "Start here after the first 9 ridges." then on the left hand chart (they are side by side) it says: "continue here".<BR/>Mine finished BIGger than I would of liked, and I thought I had gauge, so error on the smaller size as Sandra suggests.<BR/>Sandra, On my page four, left hand side, bottom of second paragraph it says: "tog through the back loops, k 158 (166), k 2 tog, place the second marker..." is this where you had the error on page four?<BR/>Good Luck Barbara!!

Definitely start with the right hand chart.<br /> Just a word of caution, ensure your tension matches as even a slight deviation can mean ending up with a larger garment than you intended. <br /> I did the biggest size and there was an error on page 4 where it referred to 167 sts instead of 160, so check when casting on the other side that the figures given add up to the amount you are casting on.<br />I have read other comments saying the sizes are generous which is why I think the tension check important<br />Happy knitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
