After knitting a million blankets, scarves, and other rectangular things, I finally got ambitious enough to make a mock-cableknit sweater for my 1-yr-old neice. It's a cardigan. I did the back panel and the left front panel. Where the buttons / button holes go is ribbed for a few stiches, and then there is one cable on each panel. The left front panel began with the pattern and then I just knit to the end of the row. The right front panel begins with the flat part and then when you get down to 10 stiches left, you have to work the pattern. Problem is, they only give me instructions for 9 stiches. My mom and I tried it a million times. I took it to a knitting store (not the place that sold me the pattern), they confirmed that it was screwed up, and told me "just do the reverse of the other panel," but I'm afraid I'm not that skilled. I'm going to type in the pattern for the side that worked, and then for the side that was flawed, and see if any of you gurus can help me. Thanks so much!
This is exactly as it appears, including parentheticals. Anything I've added is in red.
Left front (I'll omit the edging that goes along the bottom, and the buttonhole instructions). This is the side that worked
Cast on 39 sts.
Row 1 (right side) Knit to last 10 sts; P1, K3 (for mock cable patt); (P1, K1) 3 times (for front band)
Row 2: (P1,K1) 3 times; P3, K1, purl rem sts.
Row 3: Knit to last 10 sts, P1, sl 1 (as to knit), K2, PSSO (Pass slipped st over both knitted sts -- for cable twist); (P1, K1) 3 times
Row 4: (P1, K1) 3 times; P1 YO (counts as one st), P1, K1, purl rem sts.
Rep last 4 rows....
Right Front This is the side that doesn't work
Cast on 39 sts.
Row 1 (right side):
(K1,P1) 3 times (for front band); K3, P1 (for mock cable); knit rem sts.
Row 2: Purpl to last 10 sts (This must be a typo, right? I purled here) ; K1, P3; (K1,P1) 3 times
Row 3: (K1, P1) 3 times, sl 1, K2, PSSO; P1, knit rem sts
Row 4: here's where I have the problem Purl to last 10 sts; K1, P1, YO (counts as one st), P1; (K1, P1) 3 times.
The problem is that it says to go to the last 10 stiches, then only gives me 9 things to do, since the YO doesn't use up a st from my left kneedle. So I'm left with one st every time. Can you help me please?
