we goofed! the elise pattern has been amended and the newly amended version is now posted. in the event you’ve downloaded the pattern prior to July 5, 2011, we’re showing the errata below:
Row 7: K1, P1, *K3, K1 through back of loop, drop the next loop, YF, K1 through back of loop, repeat from * one more time, K3 (to the 1st marker), PM, **K2tog 2 times, YF, K1, YF, K1, YF, K1, YF, K2tog 2 times, repeat from ** one more time, PM, **K3, K1 through back of loop, drop the next loop, YF, K1 through back of loop, repeat from * one more time, K3, P1, K1
Rows 8-10: repeat Rows 4-6
Repeat rows 7-10 above until about 39” ending with a Row 10, then
Please explain “drop the next loop”.
robin: “drop the next loop” simply means that you should let the loop slide off your needle without knitting it. it will form a hole in the fabric. the loop that’s dropped is the yarnover stitch that you had made in the previous row.
How do I get copies of your patterns?
hi carol: all of our patterns are digitally available online.

When you say “YF, yarn forward” and “YB, yarn back” do you mean to wrap the yarn around the needle or just to pass it between the needles?
Tracy, YF means that you should simply move your yarn (as if to purl) to the front of the piece. Similarly, YB means that you should move the yarn to the back of the piece (as if to knit). You are not actually wrapping the piece of yarn around the needle. Hope that helps!
