Comments
So I k5, k2tog, k1...what do I repeat? The k5, k2tog or the k1, k2tog??
So you're basically decreasing 4 stitches every round.
I'll reworded it, and hope that it helps.
Thanks for the heads up! And sorry for the confusion.
I have just made this item and I have to advise on a few errors in your decrease.
Row 7 - to be left with 19sts, you only k1 at the end of row and not k3 as per the instructions on the pattern.
Row 11 - leaves 10 sts and not 11 as noted here, other than that the pattern is great, thank you for sharing.
Hope that helps!
