The first row after the brim. Is it actually knit 1, m1 instead of knit2, m1.
ReplyDeleteI can't get 144 sts from 76
Thx
By the other sizes I think it should be 114, not 144.
ReplyDeleteYes, the correct count; in my opinion, is 114 stitches. If you k1, m1 you're actually doubling the stitches and would get 152.
