I reached the bottom band on my second Hetty at my knitting group the other day, and I found myself a little confused about why I was ending at a different point in the repeat than on my first one. I double checked the pattern a million times, and eventually I decided to just put it away and find my mistake when I got home. At home I checked the pattern again, and everything looked right. I dug out my first Hetty to compare, and to my surprise, the mistake was on that one! I knit one decrease repeat too many so it’s four rows longer and four stitches smaller than it should be! Oops.
LOL Andi! Your title on this post had me laughing. Great sense of humor has you says me. ๐ Your Hetty is looking fab btw. I think I need a cardi that color. Yep, yep, I do. ๐
I have exactly the same mistake. I abandoned it for a couple of days because I needed to finish another project. I went over my notes once in a hurry and I didn’t find my mistake. I ‘ll do it today again and I hope I can spot it!
This is why test knitting is so important! At least you caught it and can fix it now.
Oh, there’s nothing wrong with the pattern! I just followed the directions wrong. If I was going to fix the mistake, I’d have to take off the bands on my sweater, rip out four rows, and re-do the bands. It’s really not worth fussing over.
