How can I be confused with sooooo few instructions???
I've been
knitting 2, turning the needles, knitting 2 (which takes me to end of row)
knitting 4, turning needles, knitting 4 (end of row)
knitting 6, turning needles, knitting 6 (end of row)
knitting a full row
and then repeating ....... looks like I'm knitting a pair of trousers ???A creative mess is better than tidy idleness0 -
Well I'm really feeling rather stupid. I've been trying to knit this, but I am sure I'm doing it wrong :mad:

Well that's what I did, and mine was fine :cool:

Hi - I think you are not knitting across all 15 stiches when you have to knit a full row
You knit across all 15 stitches then start again (at the other end so to speak) with the k2 turn k2.
Hope that helps.0 -

Just to let you know that this technique is known as short row knitting. You use this technique in order to shape garments. So instead of casting off stitches on a shoulder seam to shape the shoulder you can use short row shaping instead.0 -

Oh I think I have some of that but in less bright colours, I did an attempt at crocheting a scarf with it!Ermutigung wirkt immer besser als Verurteilung.
