Knitting

Trouble Knitting – help?

This is what I’m working on. But everytime when I get to the end of row 2, I do not have enough st. to K2.
So, is it something I’m doing wrong or is the direction not right in some way. I got it from this website:

http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting/patterns/afghans/cables/cl7.htm

SSK and pass = SSK, return the resulting stitch to left-hand needle and with point of right-hand needle pass the next stitch over it and off needle, then sl the stitch back to right-hand needle

Pattern:

Cast on 44 sts

Row 1 (WS): P9, K2, P10, K2, P10, K2, P9

Row 2: K2, P2, K1, (YO, K1) 4 times, P2, K6, SSK and pass, YO, K1, YO, P2, YO, K1, YO, SL1, K2tog, PSSO, K6, P2, K1, (YO, K1) 4 times, P2, K2

Your answer are welcome. Thank You!

You do knit exactly 44 stitches on Row 2.

On row one, you either knit or purl each stitch, no increases or decreases. so you should have 44 stitches at the end.

On row two, here’s the count of the 44 stitches after each instruction is completed:

K2 = 2
P2 = 4
K1 = 5
(YO, K1) 4 times = 9 (plus 4 YOs)
P2 = 11 (plus 4 YOs)
K6 = 17 (plus 4 YOs)
SSK and Pass = 20 (plus 4 YOs, minus 2 sts decreased)
YO = 20 (plus 5 YOs, minus 2 sts decreased)
K1 = 21 (plus 5 YOs, minus 2 sts decreased)
YO = 21 (plus 6 YOs, minus 2 sts decreased)
P2 = 23 (plus 6 YOs, minus 2 sts decreased)
YO = 23 (plus 7 YOs, minus 2 sts decreased)
K1 = 24 (plus 7 YOs, minus 2 sts decreased)
YO = 24 (plus 8 YOs, minus 2 sts decreased)
SL 1, K2tog, PSSO = 27 (plus 8 YOs, minus 4 sts decreased)
K6 = 33 (plus 8 YOs, minus 4 sts decreased)
P2 = 35 (plus 8 YOs, minus 4 sts decreased)
K1 = 36 (plus 8 YOs, minus 4 sts decreased)
(YO, K1) 4 times = 40 (plus 12 YOs, minus 4 sts decreased)
P2 = 42 (plus 12 YOs, minus 4 sts decreased)
K2 = 44 (plus 12 YOs, minus 4 sts decreased)

When you complete this row, you have worked the 44 stitches from the first row, you have added 12 YOs, and you have decreased 2 stitches from the “SSK and pass” and 2 stitches from the “SL 1, K2 tog, PSSO [pass slipped stitch over the K2tog].” You should have a total of 52 stitches going into the next row.

By the way, the two different decrease stitches are supposed to be mirror images of each other. They both sort of end up looking like this: /|\ In the first one, the “pass” stitch comes from left to right (and slants to the right) and in the second one, the PSSO stitch goes from right to left (and slants to the left).

But did you know that the fastest growing trend in knitting and crochet takes reduce-reuse-recycle to a whole new level? In Alt Fiber, popular craft author, teacher, and blogger Shannon Okey presents more than twenty-five patterns for jackets, skirts, sweaters, wraps, socks, bags, and more using nonallergenic plant fibers.
