Hello everyone,

i found this lovely scarf pattern and started knitting it. The first time i did the pattern stitch, the piece came out beautifully, but when i start the second repeat the stitches not enough. i'll paste the pattern, hopefully that will make more sense then my rambling.

when i start the 3rd row for the 2nd time, the k8 stitches, sl1,k2tog,psso stitches are out of alinement. could anyone help me?

PATTERN:

SCARF: Cast on 45 sts VERY loosely. Begin pattern stitch.

Pattern Stitch:

Row 1: (right side): Knit.

Row 2: (and all wrong-side rows): Purl.

Row 3: K2, * k1, yo, k8, (sl1, k2tog, psso), k8, yo; repeat from *, end k3.

Row 5: K2, * k2, yo, k7, (sl1, k2tog, psso), k7, yo, k1; repeat from *, end k3.

Row 7: K2, k2 tog, * yo, k1, yo, k6, (sl1, k2tog, psso), k6, yo, k1 yo, (sl1, k2tog, psso); repeat from * to last 4 sts, end yo, (sl1, k1, psso), k2.

Note for Row 15: On your 2nd time working between the *'s, drop the last "(sl 1, k2 tog, psso)" and work the last 4 sts as stated.

Row 17: K2, * k8, yo, k1, (sl1, k2tog, psso), k1, yo, k7; repeat from *, end k3.

Row 19: K2, * [k1, yo, (sl1, k2tog, psso), yo] 5 times; repeat from *, end k3.

Row 20: Purl

Thank you

The pattern begins with the cast on of 45 and ends with a row of 45sts. Have you counted the number of sts that you have on the needle? The second pattern repeat may not align with the last row of pattern but it should look just like row 3 at the beginning of the pattern repeat.
