Errata for Kyler's Kardigan

Carol just e-mailed me with a correction in the new pattern.

Page 9 is incorrect and should be replaced with the following:

Reverse Shaping Process:
Row 1: Knit 28 (30, 32, 33, 35), Slip 1, Knit 1, Pass Slip Stitch Over (PSSO), Knit 10, Knit 2 together, Knit 25 (27, 29, 31, 32), yarn forward, slip last 3 stitches.

Row 2 and all even rows until Row 12: Knit across to last 3 stitches, yarn forward, slip last 3 stitches.

Row 3: Knit 28 (30, 32, 33, 35), Slip 1, Knit 1, PSSO, Knit 8, Knit 2 together, Knit 25 (27, 29, 31, 32), yarn forward, slip last 3 stitches.

Row 5: Knit 28 (30, 32, 33, 35), Slip 1, Knit 1, PSSO, Knit 6, Knit 2 together, Knit 25 (27, 29, 31, 32), yarn forward, slip last 3 stitches.

Row 7: Knit 28 (30, 32, 33, 35), Slip 1, Knit 1, PSSO, Knit 4, Knit 2 together, Knit 25 (27, 29, 31, 32), yarn forward, slip last 3 stitches.

Row 9: Knit 28 (30, 32, 33, 35), Slip 1, Knit 1, PSSO, Knit 2, Knit 2 together, Knit 25 (27, 29, 31, 32), yarn forward, slip last 3 stitches.

Row 11: Knit 28 (30, 32, 33, 35), Slip 1, Knit 1, PSSO, Knit 2 together, Knit 25 (27, 29, 31, 32), yarn forward, slip last 3 stitches.

Row 12: Knit across to last 3 stitches, yarn forward, Purl 3.

Finishing:
Fold hood in half and join with Kitchener stitch (p. 10) or three-needle bind off. Weave in yarn ends, then very neatly seam the ten-stitch Wallaby pouch “beginning ten stitch tab” to sweater front. I found using sewing thread worked for me while Ann suggested using three strands of DMC floss, especially because she could accurately match colors. (I suspect she has a large stash of DMC floss from her many cross stitch projects!)

Collar Variation:
Follow hood instructions through “Hood Shaping” increases, incorporating “built-in I cord.” Then change to Garter Stitch and knit for 2” (2”, 2.5”, 2.5”, 3”) more. Bind off loosely from wrong side and don’t forget the “avoiding the dog ear” trick on page seven.

I am working on the child's Kyler...the beginning of the pattern switches from wrong side of work (row 1); right side of sweater (row 2); right side of work (row 3). When you're working the increases, are you on the right side of the worki and the beginning of the row is actually the left side of the sweater? Confusion came when I went to divide the work and the directions say to slip right front first etc. but to me it seems the left front is the first to be slipped if the right side of the sweater is facing you...please help!

Kinsey, Row 3 is a wrong side row. It is confusing row 3 directions say to place a safety pin on Row 2 to designate right side of work. Increases are made on right side rows.The right and left sides of the sweater are as the sweater is worn. Yes, I think the left stitches are the first to be slipped-unless you start from the other end of the needle. It doesn't make any difference which it is as you complete the sleeves anyway and later transfer all the body stitches to the needle.

I have confusion on page 2. After doing Row 2 the first time, when it is repeated at Row 4, if I do as stated and inc 1 st, k1, MYO, my marker is two sts away. What am I doing wrong?

I just cast-on the adult size small and found a mistake on page 15 in the description for the set-up row 2. As you get to the end of the row, the directions say, "...slip marker, MYO, Knit 12, Increase in last stitch." This should be "Knit 2", not "12."

It's an easy mistake to catch, but I thought I'd save someone a little confusion. I'll let you know if I find anything else.
