Oh for pete’s sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just started to print out the directions for this. It skipped rows 5-9 and was printing ALL the remarks, before I stopped the printer. Guess I have to copy and paste??
Looks like you have a great site and lots of good patterns.
Thank you for adding the chart. I think many come with “fear of charts” because they look so difficult. What a great opportunity to learn with simple project!
I always wondered what “work even” meant!
Love the layout! Very easy to read!!
What do wrong side rows mean…work even to last 2 sts??? Sorry, I am confused. Maybe if I had my knitting in front of me, or another cup of coffee.
This looks like just the thing for a cold morning.
Hi there, good question!
Wrong side rows are the even-numbered rows. They are the rows not shown on the chart. To do them, knit the knits and purl the purls. (That’s what “work even” means). Here’s a video showing how to do Work Even.
Remember to always knit the first and last 2 stitches on every row, because those are the garter-stitch border stitches.
Another broken download link…
Hi again! Thank you so much. Still getting some kinks worked out. I have updated the link and now the PDF downloads correctly. Thank you!
