I guess that's why they call it test knitting. You are now the go to guy to work out all the pattern bugs! :-) Bet you'd rather be geoacaching right about now, eh? :-) You’re reading it right!

And yes I understand I'm a test knitter, but... This is a simple pattern and stuff like this should have been caught early. And yes, I'd like to be geocaching. I've got a list of about 1/2 dozen caches within 1/2 hour of here that I'd like to find. Yea,, I know I’m right.

Yes it would be 12 repeats if the repeat itself were 7 stitches, but it ain't. It's only 6. And believe me, I've counted the repeats across the capelet and there are 14.

If so perhaps comaparing it with the pattern would help. It appears as if a yo is missing somewhere (to make up for the stich taken away in the K2tog). 84/7 = 12 repeats***CV Were you sent a picture of the final product?

Pattern repeat says it should be 7 stitches + 1. But… K2tog, K2, L1, K2, repeat is only 6 stitches (L1 is a lifted stitch). Hmm?? Look at pattern again. Think I know what happened. The K2tog was counted as 2 stitches instead of one. Now I'm of two minds on this. It's as you say an increase row. They may have dropped the k2tog. Pattern for the increase row should read like this if I'm right. K4, L1, K2. There's your seven stitches. What you have to do next is carefully read the next row to see if it matches that pattern. Unless it's all purls. Then you have to go to the row below that one to check your work. Quelyn Hmm..? Pattern repeat says it should be 7 stitches + 1.

It works. It does make a Herringbone stitch pattern. Unless someone has *really* screwed up, that's a 6 stitch pattern. Increase row adds a M1 on either side of the L1. I'm *hoping* someone saw the K2tog and counted two stitches, cause if that isn't right I'm going to be ripping back about 4 inches of work. Now y'all have got me worried... :-( I can sense confusion (maybe mine… ;-) )

The main pattern of the body of the capelet is called ‘Herringbone Stitch’

It is as follows:

Row 1: Purl
Row 2: *K2tog,K2,L1,K2;repeat from * to last stitch, end K1
Row 3: Purl
Row 4: K1,*K2,L1,K2,K2tog;repeat from * to end

That’s the basic beginning pattern. It works. It does make a Herringbone stitch pattern. Unless someone has *really* screwed up, that’s a 6 stitch pattern. Increase row adds a M1 on either side of the L1.

I’m *hoping* someone saw the K2tog and counted two stitches, cause if that isn’t right I’m going to be ripping back about 4 inches of work.

Now y’all have got me worried… :-(

Anyway, how are you doing the increase? I just checked my BW Book 1, pg 143, and she describes it as using the stitch below. Also uses a stitch repeat of 7 sts + 1 as an example. Perhaps that's it?? :) Judy Hi Jerry, Oh well, thought I had the answer! Anyway, how are you doing the increase? I just checked my BW Book 1, pg 143, and she describes it as using the stitch below.
