Oops! Even though all our patterns are meticulously tested and proofed, the occasional error can still creep in! We apologize if an error causes problems.

Here is a list of known errors and corrections. If you have purchased a pattern after the date listed, then your pattern most likely incorporates the correction.

Accessories of Hope, Raj Collar:
(corrected on printed patterns after January 2006)

Illustration shows collar with 10 points, but actual collar has 8 points.

Beech Leaf Vest:
(corrected on printed patterns after April 2008)

Number of stitches remaining after casting off for armholes varies due to the Beech Leaf pattern. Some patterns list only number of stitches remaining if Armhole decreases end on Rows 1 to 4. Here is additional information:

Back (top of page 3): after all decs are completed, if you are on a Row 1 to 4 of pattern, 81 (83, 87, 91, 97, 99) sts remain; if on a Row 5 to 10, 75 (77, 81, 85, 91, 93) sts remain.

Right Front (bottom of page 3): after all decs are completed, if you are on a Row 1 to 4 of pattern, 41 (42, 44, 46, 49, 50) sts remain; if on a Row 5 to 10, 39 (40, 42, 44, 47, 48) sts remain.

Left Front (bottom of page 4): after all decs are completed, if you are on a Row 1 to 4 of pattern, 41 (42, 44, 46, 49, 50) sts remain; if on a Row 5 to 10, 39 (40, 42, 44, 47, 48) sts remain.

1. Caress Lacy Top
(corrected on most printed patterns after November 2006)

Page 2: instructions for Armhole Shaping, second paragraph which reads:

On RS rows, dec at right side edge with k1, skp. Dec at left side edge with k2tog, k1. On WS rows, dec at right side edge with p1, then slip the next 2 sts knitwise 1 at a time to right needle, slip both back to left needle keeping twisted, purl together through the back loops (makes a left-slanting dec to match skp on RS). Dec at left side edge with p2tog, p1.

Instructions should actually read:

On RS rows, dec at beginning of row with k1, skp. Dec at end of row with k2tog, k1. On WS rows, dec at beginning of row with p1, p2tog. Dec at end of row by working to last 3 sts, then slip the next 2 sts knitwise 1 at a time to right needle, slip both back to left needle keeping twisted, purl together through the back loops (makes a left-slanting dec to match skp on RS), end p1.

The correction is in the type of dec worked on the WS or purl side of the fabric. This correction would apply throughout the pattern wherever it says to dec as for Back.

2. Caress Lacy Top
(corrected on most printed patterns after January 2007)

Lace Edging Chart, page 6.
Chart Symbols: symbol for purl says to "Purl on WS, knit on RS" but should actually say "Knit on WS, purl on RS"

Creatures of the Reef instructions, page 2:
(corrected on printed patterns as of November 2003)

Row 5, RC and LC should read 20 stitches, not 21.

Row 6, MS - there is an extra k1 at the end of the row

Row 9, RC, it should read: k2, yo, k2tog, [yo, k1] x 11, [yo, k2tog] x 3, yo, k1. (34 stitches)

The charts are correct.

Symbols for Knit and Purl say to work on right side or wrong side, but garment is worked from the front only (in the round). Therefore, symbol for Knit should say only "Knit" and symbol for Purl should say only "Purl."

On page 4, when picking up sts for neckline finishing, a marker should be placed at the bottom of the Vee.

Expressions of Love: Scarves of Hope pattern booklet:
(corrected on pattern sheets after May 2006 for Heart Chart)

The "I Love You" Chart shows markers on Row 51 moving the same as Row 17, but should actually say "same as Row 5."

Flirty Ruffles Shawl, gauge swatch instructions:
(corrected on printed patterns as of November 2003)

Instructions under Leaves Edging Chart 1 say:
"The first 3 rows (Rows A to C) are set-up rows and are worked only once...Begin with Row A, reading it from right to left, then Row B from left to right, etc."

Page 3, second column
Working the Leaves Edging Chart 2, the next paragraph is headed Flowers Edging Chart 1 and reference is made to Flowers Edging Chart 1 in the paragraph. Title should say "Leaves Edging Chart 2" and reference should say "Leaves Edging Chart 1."

(corrected on printed patterns as of September 2005)

Page 2, under Cables Chart
This sentence should read: "• Next row (yarnover row): k3, [yo, k2tog] to last three stitches, k3. (not two stitches, k2)

Page 3, fourth paragraph
This sentence should read: "Knit Row 1a, turn the work, start Row 2a by slipping the first stitch purlwise and knit 16." (not 2b)

Lace Edging Chart

Scarves of Hope, Roses and Purls Scarf:
(corrected on printed patterns as of May 12, 2005)

Charts are correct but written instructions for Rows 2 and 14 should say, " Knit all stitches" (not purl).

Scarves of Hope, Knitted Boa Scarf:
Instructions say to ssk but no explanation is given for this abbreviation. This is a left-leaning decrease so knitters can work sl1-k1-psso instead if desired.

(corrected on printed patterns as of February 2007)

Copy should say: Switch to larger circular needles, join L and work Slip-Stitch Pattern, beg with Row 3:

(corrected after May 2007)
After casting off armhole stitches, remaining stitches are listed. Copy says "Each front has 40 (41, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49) sts." It should really say: "Each front has 44 (47, 49, 53, 57, 61, 65) sts."

(corrected after May 2007)

Whisper Scarves Two, Chart C:
(error appears on older versions of pattern - newer versions are corrected)

Rows 17 to 23, in the left hand side border, motif is not centered in space. It should match motif on right hand border, which starts on Row 19 rather than 17. Moving motif up on left hand side to start on Row 19 will fix this.
