Compact Chart:
In the compact chart are indicated mostly the rows with increases and decreases. Between them are the rows similar to rows 2, 3, and 4 (with the exception of the fact that you have to work the “brkyobrk” stitches from the previous row as: sl1yo, p1, sl1yo and the “br4st inc” stitches from previous row as: sl1yo, p1, sl1yo, p1, sl1yo).
Merci .Tank you to France
ReplyDeleteTout le plaisir est pour moi
DeleteThere is an error in row 29 in the written instructions. your are missing a brkyobrk, which you show in the chart, but is not in the written instructions.
ReplyDeleteCorrected. Thank you for noticing!!!
DeleteHi, thank you so much for this beautiful pattern. I think there might be another difference between the chart and the written pattern on row 29 (not the same as the one pointed out by 'dengel' above) - the chart shows: "k1, [sl1yo, brk1] 2 times, sl1yo, brLsl dec, [sl1yo, brk1] 2 times, brkyobrk", but the written pattern says to: "k1, *[sl1yo, brk1] 2 times, sl1yo, brLsl dec, [sl1yo, brk1] 3 times, brkyobrk".
DeleteCorrected the error pointed out by Anonymous. Thank You!
DeleteThe PDF has not been corrected. I will be tinking row 29 huhuhu
DeleteHi. Still on row 29. I checked the corrected written pattern and it shows no sl1yo before the brkyobrk but the chart shows sl1yo before the brkyobrk? I will wait for the final correction before continuing.
ReplyDeletePdf shows the name of the pattern as water drop scarf.
ReplyDeleteHow many stitches do we cast on? You start with less in the video. I followed the written instructions and cast on 33 but on row 5 I always end up with more than 2 repeats of the pattern. What am I doing wrong? Please help me figure it out.
