D. Gunning–I bet I’m using some terminology wrong. I’ll put my inexpert knitting skills to the task and see if I can get this ironed out. Sounds like you have come up with a good way to do it–just keep doing what works and I’ll hopefully have an improved pattern up soon. Thanks for your help!

Hi gloria piatt–It has been a while since I last knitted one of these. I will have to get out my needles and go to work. See D. Gunning’s comment for her solution. I will review my procedure and see if I can detect the problem. Thank you for pointing this out.

I really like this pattern, but the numbers do not add up to 32 at the end of the row. I watched the video and did the bind-offs as shown and I came out with 42 stitches at the end of the row. Another person told me the same thing happened to them. People on a website I read are having to come up with creative ways to bind-off to get the 32 stitches, this shouldnot be. What is your answer?

Is there a mistake in this pattern?
I cannot figure out how to end up with 32 stitches at end of row 1. I know how to bind off. Maybe I am counting the bind offs differently. Works for me if the pattern would read “K3, *Bind off 4, k2* repeat from * to last 6 sts” and the last 6 stitches could be “Bind off 4 K2tog” for the count to come out correct .

Judy A.–Thank you! The smooth edge is at the fingertips. Ruffles would make a fun scrubbing end, though–maybe next pattern!

These are adorable! Sorry to be so dense here, but which end is at your fingertips-the smooth edge or the ruffle edge?

Terri–Here’s a binding off video just in case that’s the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U8qM2iclCo
When you bind off 3 you are decreasing each time. After you K3 (at the beg of row 1) K 1 st, bind off, K another st, bo, K the third st, bo. Then continue and K3, etc. Hope I didn’t confuse you more!

Am ending up with more , or less sts. then needed for the end of the row. Can’t figure out where I am going wrong.

Terri–Are you ending up with more or fewer than 32?
