Thanks Jana for talking about adding length to the cardigan. I am making this for my future daughter in law and she prefers a bit longer length! You make this enjoyable. I am envious of your math mind! 🧐
Wow, thank you Jana for releasing that piece of info, weighing before and after 2 rows to figure how much yarn us needed to add to the length, I never thought how not to be nervous of running short. I will definitely use this technique. Thanks
I love your close up camera shots of the stitches you’re doing, Jana. Very helpful. I’m lucky I’ve already been using the CDD in a scrappy blanket I’m working on. Gives a nice straight look as you go up the rows. Off I go to work on mine.
A regular SSK is not slipping both stitches knitwise at once as that does put the wrong stitch in front for a different appearance. Regular SSK is slip one stitch knitwise, then the next knitwise before knitting both as you do with your technique. This is not much different in look to the slip one knitwise, slip the next across purlwise and knit them TBL but it does place the stitches in a directly opposite position to K2tog. Tip. The central decrease in many European patterns is done by slipping the first stitch knitwise, knitting the next 2 together then passing that slipped stitch over. Either way works but a lot of people find passing only one stitch over is easier than passing 2 over and potentially dropping or mistaking one.
I got messed up when I started the ribbing. The instructions had two margin stitches at the end of both right side and wrong sides of the pattern,so I got a seed stitch, not ribbing. Are the instructions wrong.?
The pattern is correct. If you're referring to the Yoke section in the beginning, you'll repeat rows 1 and 2. Since you're knitting in the round, you'll notice the difference between these to rows whether you knit or purl those margin stitches. Does that make sense?
Umm 🤔, is everyone supposed to end up with 2 leftover? I’ve tried twice now and just can’t get it. I double checked my start of 187 stitches and I should have 23 repeats (187-3=184 divided by 8 stitches = 23). But mine ends differently. And I’m on the Body chart. I’ve done Campside Cardi and Norah’s afghan with you so I know YO and how to read a chart. Thanks Jana…Hope it’s just a brain fart on my end. 🥴
When I'm off, I literally go back through the row and double check that I haven't missed a YO or a decrease somewhere. Are you off the same number of stitches both times?
@@PurlTogether Found my mistake. I was off in my starting count! Figured it was something basic and math doesn’t lie. I added two stitches and all is well. I’m back on track and looking forward to some knitting this weekend. Thanks for your help and encouragement, Jana! 🤗
I put markers every 24 stitches , with the margins on the ends, so the pattern repeated three times between each marker. That helped me stay on track with the lace.

Thanks Jana. I appreciate the screenshot of the math written out.
I prefer your ssk. It looks neater

Glad it was helpful!
In general, that was great. The button bands also need to be included, though.
