Little Badgers attern correctsion?

nlp | Posted in Knitting and Crochet on

Are there corrections to the patterns in Little Badgers Knitwear?  Of utmost concern is the Soccer sweater…it says to knit 33 cm from armhole for a childs 4-6year?

    Hi, I can appreciate your frustration.  I don't have the book, but if there's a schematic you should be able to see the measurements.  The armhole depth, depending on the style, will probably be in the region of 5-6 ins.  Good luck!

      Thank you for the reply Katina, I really appreciate it.  Unfortunately there are no schematics, and if I'm thinking correctly, no "finished measurements" section to this pattern.  The measurements you supplied are about what I calculated.  I just used a different pattern to get the approximate measurements for the size I'm making and have re-calculated the instructions.  I hope it all comes out okay!  Thanks again.

        You're most welcome! I'm glad you were able to sort it out

    little badger knitwear errata

    Hi - this is way after your original post, but thought i'd send it anyway so if you still have the book you can put this inside for future reference!  See below for all the errors I found....many seem quite substatial!

    Due to printing errors and conversion from inches to cm please note amendments 10/06/01

    Abbreviations

    SSK: slip 1 stitch, slip another stitch, put on left hand needle, k2together through back of stitch. This looks like K2tog in reverse and avoids stretching the stitch. However slip 1, knit 1, pass slip stitch over would also work (but wouldn’t look as neat).

    Sl 2tog.k1,p2sso;slip 2together(as if you were going to k2tog) then knit the next st and pass both the slipped sts over the knitted one. This has the same effect as k3tog but the stitch in the middle lies on top of the other 2
