Trouble With Cast On and Number of Stitches - Large

January '09 Kit Questions, Warning Spoilage | March 30, 2009
By birchtreemn@yahoo.com

Hello NSK’s!  I’m having a little bit of trouble, can anyone assist me?

1) Tubular Cast On - I’ve follow the instructions 4 times and end up with the appropriate 80 stitches and then after joining in the round (knit/purl/knit/purl) I  end up with 82 stitches, I must be missing something.  Has this happened to anyone?

- I switched to a Long tail cast on… and then…

2) I had 80 Cast On stiches, did my 10 rows of knit/purl/knit/purl.  Moving to the leg, there are 72 stitches, Do I need to decrease equally or am I missing something?

Thank you NSK’s!

Wendy

The decreases happen in the first row of the pattern with the p2tog in between the beads: each set of 10 stitches is reduced to 9, which becomes the pattern repeat.

Thank You Karalee! I was re-reading the pattern this morning, feeling a little dumb. I figured it out on the communite into town! I am brilliant too, I was so pleased when I figured it out! Wahoo!

Can’t believe I didn’t see that one. Thanks for all your help!

Communite = Addicted Sock Knitter blogging during my team meeting at work, bad, bad. I meant to say COMMUTE, but we were talking about being a “united” team at the time. Too Funny.
