What a great tip! basically, do the “wrap” part of the wrap & turn maneuver ( from short rows ), right? Genius! I will definitely try this!

Thank you so much. For some reason, when I printed the pattern out, it didn’t print page 7. I appreciate your quick response.

I’ve wanted to make this lovely purse for some time. Started it this morning and ran into T3F and T3B. I’ve done cables before but haven’t seen this. How is it done? Thanks!

Hi MrsMommaD, Lauren used to sell them in her Etsy shop as a kit with the purse handles, but they are no longer generally available. It looks like she has made them as custom orders for people in the past, so it may be worth contacting her via her Etsy shop to see if she can make you a set.

Hi Fenrii, At that point in the pattern, you should have made a loop. That loop will form the top band of the bag. Starting where you grafted the loop together, pick up 144 stitches. If you need help picking up stitches, I recommend this Knitty tutorial. The comment to pick up one stitch for each row is to help you pick up the correct number of stitches. In many patterns (and in the example shown in the Knitty tutorial), you need to figure out how to space out the stitches you're picking up in order to make it even. In this case it's easy: just pick up one stitch for each row in the loop--the loop has 144 rows in it. If you do that, when you've picked up the 144th stitch, you will be back where you started and will be ready to join to knit in the round.

Where do you get the leaves to add to the bag? Or do you have a pattern for them also?

In the part that says main body I dont get it
it says: “Beginning at the seam, pick up 144 stitches all the way around. You
will be picking up one stitch for each row. Join for knitting in the
round.”
how do I pick up the 144 sttches??
and what does it mean that I need to pick up one stitch for each row??
HELP PLEASE!!

Hi Roberta, what do you mean that the pattern “isn’t complete”? Is the file corrupted and the rest of it not showing up? If so, try downloading a fresh copy.

It’s a stockinette-based pattern, so it will tend to do that as the scarf becomes un-blocked through wear. To make it flat again, just re-block it.

I have finished knitting the scarf which is really very nice. After wearing for 2 times, I find out thar the scarf roll up and become narrow. What can I do? I am using the woollen yarn as you suggested. How can I manage it back to be flat instead of rolling up?

When you come to the instep, slip the next stitch onto the right needle without working, bring the wool into the correct position for working that stitch ie back for knit, forward for purl,slip the stitch back onto the left needle and work it while at the same time pulling the wool quite tight. Repeat the exercise on the next row when you come to the other side of the instep. I guarantee this will solve your problem with a “hole” on either side of the instep.

ACK, you’re right! It’s supposed to be a multiple of 6 stitches + 1, as in the response to lpales. That response also explains why that works. A multiple of 7 will NOT work unless it happens to also be a multiple of 6 + 1 (like the original cast-on number, 49).

I’ve edited my response to LiLo to show the correct multiplier and avoid further confusion.

Thanks for catching that!

I would like to decrease the size of this scarf, but I am confused by what multiple of stitches to do decrease it by. In your (Yvonne’s) response to lpales you say to increase/decrease it by multiples of 6 stitches +1. Then in your reply to LiLo you said to increase/decrease by multiples of 7. I always thought that those meant two different things, am I wrong? Which way is one supposed to increase/decrease the pattern? Thanks.

Hi Maggie,

It should be p2 — the scarf is symmetric and the written directions match the chart. Are you getting extra stitches?

Comment on Amy: Cabled Scarf Knitting Pattern by Maggie

Maggie — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 12:59:25 +0000

Hi, Love the scarf!! Just wanted to point out or actually ask… Row 5 of the cable pattern, the last stitch is p2, shouldn’t it be p4?

Hi Sandy, M1 means do a "make 1" type of increase. Knitting Help has videos of a bunch of different M1 increases here.

What does “M1″ on row 3 of the set up ribbing mean?

Thanks.
