Personally, I think this pattern is intermediate; the most difficult thing about it is just counting out the multi-stitch, multi-row lace pattern, and it's not a terribly difficult one at that. The bobble is only a slight learning curve. :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-31815472423837811002019-12-07T05:22:10.195-08:002019-12-07T05:22:10.195-08:00I have a few patterns on the go right now but I’m ...I have a few patterns on the go right now but I’m interested in trying this one.

And I'm looking at it and trying to figure out what would throw you off about row 7 and nothing useful is coming to mind... since row 5 was k6 before your yo, k1, yo, and row 7 is a k7 before the yo, k1, k1, they should line up. Is it possible you missed the k2tog instructions in row 6? When you begin row 7 you should have 110 stitches between your markers (although you will have 120 after it since you do half of your decreases on the even rows). Anyway, I'm not sure if that's helpful or not, but if you can give me any more information, or email me a picture of the problem at ballstothewallsknits@gmail.com, I can try to do more! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-83216756235700298562016-11-19T05:17:15.955-08:002016-11-19T05:17:15.955-08:00Hi, I love this pattern, but I'm on my 3rd ti...Hi, I love this pattern, but I'm on my 3rd time trying it and my buds are off center and I'm lost on the 7th row.

I liked this yarn reasonably well! :) Anyway, this cowl did not take all 300 yards, although I can't remember how far off it was. On the plus side, you can always just quit if you run out of yarn, although you'd probably best off with 200 yards+.Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-60413167423646920992016-07-19T10:24:50.904-07:002016-07-19T10:24:50.904-07:00Cascade Sateen is no longer available in any good ...Cascade Sateen is no longer available in any good colors.
