I'm relatively new at knitting, but I crochet very well. Following patterns is not a problem for me, but it seems that in row 7, there are 4 extra stitches that don't get worked when I follow the pattern. What am I doing wrong?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197770623101919193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15599377.post-62661754575387160512017-01-17T21:15:02.522-05:002017-01-17T21:15:02.522-05:00i'm in the middle of doing this and mine doesn...i'm in the middle of doing this and mine doesn't look like the picture above here.JayeBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997895540746524587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15599377.post-17004776065726591532016-10-17T09:10:30.088-05:002016-10-17T09:10:30.088-05:00I think she states how in start of pattern. Notes:...I think she states how in start of pattern. Notes: Pattern calls for slipping the first stitch and purling the last stitch of every <br />row ~ this makes for a very neat selvedge edge, which I learned thanks to <br />an Elizabeth Zimmerman book. I slipped the first stitch purlwise, holding the working <br />yarn to the back.China Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389944388928374522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15599377.post-24032320500529803402016-10-17T09:09:40.921-05:002016-10-17T09:09:40.921-05:00I think she states how in start of patternI think she states how in start of patternChina Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389944388928374522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15599377.post-28003314500240149822016-08-22T12:54:55.062-05:002016-08-22T12:54:55.062-05:00DONE!

And, if you prefer, you could just eliminate the slipped stitch and knit/purl it normally--it will not make a huge difference in the finished product.<br />Hope this helps!Debbiehttp://www.homespunliving.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15599377.post-24564980489114830772011-05-27T20:59:46.910-05:002011-05-27T20:59:46.910-05:00I was reading the pattern and I'm trying to tr...I was reading the pattern and I'm trying to try a very simple pattern as I have not knited in years.
