Problem with knitting stitch book

Qintes · 2006-02-21T01:57:53+00:00

I have the "Big book of knitting stitch patterns" and I was working from it tonight for the first time when I noticed all the stitch counts are wrong for all the lace patterns. This is the prob...they count sl 1, k1, psso as one stitch. But isn't is two? You need a stitch to slip and then you use another stitch to knit right? Or am I wrong? I don't see how that can be counted as 1 stitch.Oh man...I just checked another book and they're all wrong too! So apparently I'm doing something wrong. I don't guess every book can be wrong. Help! What am I doing?Here's the first row of the pattern I wanted to knit. It says "work with a multiple of 17 stitches" so I cast on 34 stitches.K3, *K 2 tog, K3, yo, K1, yo, K3, sl 1, K 1, psso, K6*; rep from * to * ending the last repeat with K3Now that's exactly what Row 1 says. That looks like 38 stitches to me. What am I doing wrong? Help!Pamjam the frustrated

Probably the same one that caused me to misread it! I didn't get out any needles to try it out or I would have figured it out sooner.
