I have a really sweet little knitting book and like one of the throw patterns in it. I have only just started it and have already found something a bit misleading and altered it.
This is the misleading bit. The pattern is
K1 p2togX3, [K1,yon]x6, p2togx3, rep from * to last st, K1.
In the [K1, yon] bit, if you only do yon on the last of the 6 repeats and go straight to p2tog, you are going to lose a stitch aren't you? I am right, no? So I am changing the last repeat to yrn.
There are 5 rows st st between the pattern rows so it is a little while before I can see if I have done the right thing. There are over 250 stitches so it takes a while and I am really bad at counting! But first pattern row worked.
My question is - does the pattern work? On the next pattern row I am purling 2 together 3 times over existing p2togs, if you see what I mean. Then creating 6 holes, to compensate for the next 6 p2 togs. The number of stitches will still be correct but I can't see how the pattern will work. Am I just being paranoid/dim? I have already done one pattern repeat but it was when I was following the pattern so all my stitch numbers were wrong anyway.
