Pattern Corrections
Knit Issue 8
Ribbed Cardigan
We advise to use size 10.00mm needles for the bodice and size 12.00 needles for the collar. The Neck shaping below the collar; use size size 4.00mm.
In all cases, the garment is better worked firmer, rather than looser as the fabric holds in a better shape overall. In some cases, if your normal tension is loose, a size 9.00mm needle can be used in the bodice successfully.
Side to Side Cardigan
Note that the number of stitches between the cables decreases to 2 sts by the time the first cable twist has been worked. This is why, in the second repeat of rows 1 - 7 the pattern states "Rep rows 1 - 7 working k2 on the WS and p2 on the RS between cables". Once you have worked the first repeat, this instruction will make sense.
Page 24: Cast off left front bodice, Next row (RS) Cast off 32 sts.........'p6, k4, p6 'is incorrect this should read 'k6, p4, k6 'to keep pattern correct.
Large Beanie
This pattern calls for a size 4.25mm needle. A 4.00mm needle will suffice here as 4.25mm needles may be rare to find. We have tested the pattern with a 4.00mm needle and it works fine.
Crochet Shawl
The number of chains to make at the beginning of the shawl is 374 not 364.
Cabled Scarf
The number of stitches between the cables changes each 8 rows for Version 1. There is a widening and narrowing effect.
