Stitch pattern instructions needing explanation
Hi all,
One of my vintage patterns is giving someone a headache and I can't wrap my brain around the stitch pattern either. Can any of you wise knitters assist? The pattern in question is the purple ladies jersey at: http://www.vintagepurls.net.nz/women...l#LadiesJersey The abbreviation causing problems is: "K. 2 in L." The instructions for this abbreviation read: "drop next 2 sts. down so that there are 7 loops, then k. 1, p. 1 under these loops. The occurs in row 7 and 15 of a 16 row pattern. Row 7 reads: K. 5, *turn, cast on 2, turn, k. 2 in L., turn, cast on 2, turn, k. 2; rep from * till 3 rem., k. 3. Row 15: K. 1, * turn, cast on 2, turn, k. 2 in L., cast on 2, k. 2; rep from *, ending cast on 2, k. 2 in L., cast on 2, k. 1. Can anyone make sense of this? Many thanks in advance, VP |

Good Heavens no - and I've never been stumped yet! I can only suggest that you throw caution to the winds and experiment. Very pretty pattern though - and aren't those models skinny? Even the 'Fuller Figure' one - I mean, 38 - 39" bust a fuller figure? I wish! If you do work it out will you post it? Mary Many thanks in advance, VP |

You'll CO 2 sts, then in the next 2 on the needle, drop them, unravel and knit as above, CO 2 more, k2 and repeat. Can anyone make sense of this? At least that's what I figure it is... sue |

when you get to the K.2 in l ,you make two stitches as knit stitches in the
long loop then you turn,when you make the knitted stitches it help make the base for the next pattern row. I am getting ready to work on row 8 in the pattern.

Suzee has it. This gives an upside down V look at that point. Just be sure
that the stitches you are laddering are the correct ones. They should be the two stitches directly over the cast on 2 stitches seven rows below. |

To insure that put 2 colored loops both ssides of wanted stitch and
move them every time you get there ,, mirjam Suzee has it. This gives an upside down V look at that point. Just be sure that the stitches you are laddering are the correct ones. They should be the two stitches directly over the cast on 2 stitches seven rows below. |
