Version 1 Errata:
There is an error in the Swatching section on page 8. The swatch should say:
Knit a swatch by casting on 31 stitches loosely on the medium/size US 3/3.25 mm size needles. The same needles will be used for the entire gauge swatch.
-
Knit 3 rows to create a garter band.
-
Wrong side: Knit 1 stitch. Purl to the last stitch. Knit 1 stitches.
-
Knit 1 stitches. Beginning on stitch 1 of the chart, work row 33 of the Estonian Starflower chart all the way to the end, stitch 45. Then, knit 1 selvage stitch on the other side of the chart.
-
Work all wrong side rows as established.
-
Continue on as established, working rows 35 – 47 of the Estonian Starflower chart.
-
Repeat rows 33 – 39 of the Estonian Starflower chart.
-
Knit 3 rows to create a garter band.
-
Bind off.
There was an error on the Sleeve Charts on page 10. The “Shift 1 Left” and “Shift 1 Right” should read:
1 Shifted Left – This row has 1 fewer stitches at the beginning of the row than indicated on the chart. Work the first stitch cluster as knit 4 instead of the indicated knit 5. All the remaining clusters are the same until the last stitch. There will be 1 extra stitch at the end of the row. Knit it.
1 Shifted Right – This row has 1 extra stitch at the beginning of the row. Knit this extra stitch. Work as indicated by the chart to the last stitch cluster. This cluster will have 1 fewer stitches than indicated. Work the last stitch cluster as knit 4 instead of the indicated knit 5.
If you have downloaded the update, this has been corrected already.
