Kysmik in The Viking Knit Collections

Has anybody made the Kysmik Sweater Vest in The Viking Knit Collections? I
have visited the Errata page, and there are no corrections for this pattern.
(Although several for other patterns in this book)

I am confused by the chart for the runes as the pattern says "Center on 52
stitches" and I count the chart as having 78!!! Also, it says, "K like the
back, but when work measures 30 (31) 32 (33) sts, k runes on the center 52
sts."

Wouldn't you measure the work in rows, not stitches?

I have emailed the Errata page, but could use any help!

TIA

Hi! I think the difference between the 78 stitches in the chart
and the 82 stitches on the needles is because there are 2 knit stitches
on the end of each row for selvage purposes. Mentally subtract the 2
selvage stitches on each side and you will have the 78 stitches.
On the size small sweater when you have knit 7 3/4 inches measured
from the bottom of the ribbing ( 20 cm) you will begin the rune chart.
The rune chart is centered on the 52 stitches across the front of the
sweater.
Starting on the 17th stitch, ( or the 15th stitch if you subtract
the 2 edge selvage stitches), work the rune chart and then knit the
remaining 17 stitches (or 15 stitches if not counting the edge
stitches).

Example:

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK-------------rune chart
here--------------KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK-------------rune chart
here--------------KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Hope that helps

Sorry! My little chart thing didn't come out right on the posting.
Just knit the 17 stitches, do the chart, then knit the 17 stitches on
each row. Hope I made that clear...
