What's your interpretation of these instructions?

Hi everyone

I am working this pattern:

OneStitchBabySet #20289 by lion brand yarn... how would you work the inc....I did only the RS (as pattern says too) and did not come up with 81sts...company responded that I work every row...How would you work it? Rs only or every row???? Thanks for your input

This part..?

Beg Sleeve Shaping
Inc 1 st at each end of every RS row

Did you inc at both ends?

Yep that's what I mean....What am I missing???? I inc every RS row, Do I inc at the last stitch then when I switch needles do an inc at the beg??? How did you know to inc at each end...why am I having a brain fart??? The pat says every RS row, so I skip the WS......avey maria...

O.k. let me ask this: Is there no RS and WS when working garter stitch???? Isn't RS "public side"? Yikes.. I am overloading.......

In garter stitch, you decide which is the RS; place a safety pin or piece of yarn to mark it. Inc a stitch at the beginning of the row, then one at the end of the row too. Knit back the next row (ws), then inc 2 sts on the following row (rs).

Yep Suzeeq, that's what I did, I had a RS and WS, the patt reads: inc 1 st on RS, so when I was on the WS, I did not inc 1 st at the end of the row...I only inc on end RS only, therefore, I wasn't coming up with total 81 sts. If it says inc "end of row RS" How would I know to inc 1 st at beg??? So the beg of WS row is acually end of RS? That's where you get inc at end??? Thanks

suzeeq · 08-23-2007, 02:18 PM

Noooo. Look at the instructions again that I copied above - it says to inc at each end of RS row; that means both the beginning and the end. Inc when you start the RS row, as well as at the end of the row. That way you inc 2 sts on that row, none on the WS row.

Suzeeq....Thanks for taking the time to answer me..after reading the pattern, dreaming of the pattern and looking at this blog

the magic words are: AT EACH END....

Will I always be a newbie

Thanks again
