sentence of the directions says – “YO, (P1, K3) 5x, B-OXO, (K3, P1)
4x, K2, S 1 (this is the YO from the beg of this row), K 1, PSSO...”
But, it should really say the following:
“YO,

tog, K1 (this is the YO from the beg of this row), P2SSO...”

KNITTING
TIPS
March

apply
to 1998 pattern
A class
full of knitting students in Minnesota helped me compile these tips and
explanations to make knitting the hard parts of Sue the Ewe just a little
easier (using the same abbreviations as in the pattern).
Thanks Knitting Camp knitters!
Although some of the corrections are noted below, they are the same
ones appearing above.

PAGE 6 --
§
ROWS 17-21: The
st count for each odd-numbered row increases 2 st.
So Row 17 has 26 st, Row 19 has 28 st, Row 21 has 30 st.
§
ROWS 18-24: Work
1 fewer st on each even-numbered row. So work 18 st in Row 18, 17 st in Row 20, 16 st in Row 22, 15
st in Row 24.
§
ROW 31: At
the end of this row the right side of the head is complete and you see
that the st on the needle are in a series of groups (because of the short
rows). When looking on the
right side of the work, the st (including YOs) group together as shown
below

PAGE 7 --
§
ROW 40: end
with 31 st.
§

25 st, Row 49 has 23 st.
§
ROWS 42,44,46,48: the st count decreases 2 on every even-numbered row.

23 st.

st that you pick up the st from can vary slightly, depending on how
