Haiku Knits -Fisherman's Net


To clarify and to correct this silly mistake...

"WRAP
With Yarn A CO 86 sts leaving a 6" tail.
...

Row 2: Knit with A..." Skip Row 1.

You don't need to knit 2 rows. Count your cast on as Row 1 and then knit 1 more row.
You need to end up on the same side as your 6" tail and every time you are changing yarns to create a fringe on one side of the shawl.

"Morning Glory" Pattern Errata


The Left Front and the Right Front sections are each missing one sentence at the end of the last paragraph: "BO all sts".

Haiku Knits - Half Moon Rising two-color vest


This clarification especially important for those who will knit the vest in a Small size.
When you are ready to work on the Right Front (made with Kochoran Yarn), your first row should be the WS row of the pattern, other words, the pattern should read:

"With Yarn B and larger needles, CO 48 (50, 55) sts. Work in 2 x 3 rib starting with WS row for 1"..." (i.e. *K3, p2*). End with WS row.
Next Row (RS): Work 48 (50, 55) sts, cast on an additional 32 (35, 35) sts at the end of this (RS) row, 80 (85, 90) sts."

Haiku Knits - Snowflake


Here is a question on yarn quantities for the Snowflake wrap in Haiku Knits:

"...Thanks for setting up the blog for this book! I'm really enjoying the book, but do have a question about one of the patterns. In the "Snowflake" pattern, it says that the pattern comes in only one size, but there are yarn quantities listed as if there were three sizes, e.g.:"5 (5, 6) skeins of Cascade #8505" or "5 (5,6) balls of Graphite #570". I also work in an LYS where I expect there to be heavy interest in the book during one of our classes tomorrow, so I would love to know which is the correct quantity of these yarns to give our students accurate advice!..."

Thank you so much for catching this. It should have been clarified, and changed to: "5 balls of Cascade and 5 balls of Graphite..." with the note that "...if you would like to make the fronts longer, you might need an extra ball of each yarn..."
Here is the explanation:

Since this piece is just a long rectangle with sleeves, you can easily adjust or add to the length of the fronts and/or back, so if someone wants to make an adjustment, they might require an extra ball of each yarn.

Clear Water Lacy Scarf from Haiku Knits


Here is the solution to the problem with this pattern.

Somewhere, somehow there were an extra 2 sts in the pattern. We don't know when, why and how, but ...it happened.

The pattern should read:

CO 34 sts. Begin Lace Patt.


Row 1: K2, pm, *yo, sl 1, k1, psso k5, repeat from * to last 4 sts, yo, k2tog, pm, k2


Row 2 (and all even rows): all correct


Row 3, 5, 7, 9, 11: should have "K2,..." instead of K4 in the beginning.


Now, this should works.
