Then, when you (k4tog, p4tog) twice into those four, you will have four stitches again, retaining your stitch count.<br /><br />As far as your second question is concerned, 8 ply doesn't give me much information about gauge, but I'm guessing that it is close to the pattern gauge if size US 7 needles are recommended. In that case, you could just use your size US 8 needles instead and still cast on 100. If you'd rather, of course you can swatch and calculate from there! You can cast on any multiple of 4 with this stitch pattern.Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-7796653463782397792021-03-30T22:11:31.170-07:002021-03-30T22:11:31.170-07:00Hi Gretchen

When you say slip 4 with yo there are 4 extra stiches and then we do k4 together and p4tog will that not be reducing 4 stitches then<br />Also how many stitches would you need for 8 ply yarn on size 7 needles??<br />Rachna Nadgirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956163622253568944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-90158946859290721662021-03-22T01:08:30.182-07:002021-03-22T01:08:30.182-07:00Sure, it's like so:

Then the stitch pattern is as follows:<br /><br />Row 1 (wrong side): using color B, purl, wrapping yarn twice for each stitch<br /><br />Row 2: using color B, * slip 4 knit stitches briefly in order to drop the yo's after each of them, replace 4 elongated stitches back on left-hand needle and (k4tog, p4tog) twice into these same 4 stitches *<br /><br />Row 3: using color C, p2, purl across wrapping yarn twice for each stitch, to the last 2 stitches, end p2<br /><br />Row 4: using color C, k2, * slip 4 knit stitches briefly in order to drop the yo's after each of them, replace 4 elongated stitches back on left-hand needle and (k4tog, p4tog) twice into these same 4 stitches; rep from * until 2 stitches left, end k2<br /><br />Rows 5 & 6: repeat rows 1 & 2 using color D<br /><br />Rows 7 & 8: repeat rows 3 & 4 using color A<br /><br />Knit rows 1 - 8 twice and then knit rows 1 - 6 once more. Using color A, purl two rows. Bind off loosely, seam, and tuck in ends.Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-72783178632445511582021-03-19T17:59:13.037-07:002021-03-19T17:59:13.037-07:00hi please can you share how to knit this on straig...hi please can you share how to knit this on straight needles.Rachna Nadgirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956163622253568944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-36522946720374234332015-04-26T08:03:36.564-07:002015-04-26T08:03:36.564-07:00Thank you soooo much.

I found a YouTube tutorial for this stitch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP-lcvMNDr0 Of course I've adapted it for the round, so it's slightly different, but not very. If you fast forward to 1:15 you can find where he begins Row 2 - hopefully that will help you sort things out. Please let me know if you have any more questions! And, for the record, I feel the same way you do - I love a challenge! Finally, the baby is feeling better, thank you! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-56751278808864771992015-04-25T09:46:38.013-07:002015-04-25T09:46:38.013-07:00Hi

Anyway, everything seems to be working with the printfriendly button on my end, which makes me wonder if it's an issue with your browser. I poked around a bit on the printfriendly support page, and it seems like there may be an issue with it if you're using IE 10 (http://support.printfriendly.com/customer/portal/articles/1162257-internet-explorer-10-fix). Otherwise, I'm not sure what to tell you. Sorry I couldn't be more help!Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-10422234204589121082014-08-30T20:32:12.878-07:002014-08-30T20:32:12.878-07:00Can't get printer friendly/ pdf button to work...Can't get printer friendly/ pdf button to work.
