(Patterns with corrections in alaphabetical order below) These corrections are for the first edition. Check the front of your book to see whether you have a first or second edition. So far no corrections for the second edition.

Please scroll down to see the correction for the second edition. Look at the front of your book to see which edition you have.
Berry Wrap
February 22, 2012
The symbol for increasing 3 in one stitch (shown below) should be read as (k,yo,k) in the same stitch, regardless of whether it is worked on the right-side or the wrong-side. The symbol key in the book says it should be read as (p,yo,p) on the WS. If you do work it as (p,yo,p) it won’t make much difference to the pattern.
Brown Eyed Susan
January 27, 2012
There is a mistake in the way the row numbers are counted for the main body of the shawl. Row 16 should be row 17, Row 32 should be row 33, and row 60 should be row 61.
Cinnamon Girl
February 9, 2012
Summary of errors:
1. Typo on page 74&75 “Right Front Lace Cable Band”
2. Mistake in order of when to slip marker and when to make a stitch under “Work in Pattern as follows:”
3. Typo on page 75 “Row 54”
4. The stitch counts at the end or rows 57 and 61 are incorrect and the instruction row 63 was missing from the large size, although the overall row count of 70, before separating for the sleeves, is correct.
5. The stitch count included the 14 Back lace cable stitches in the sleeves rather than the back in the “Divide Sleeve Stitches and Try On” instructions. This led to an incorrect stitch count at the end of the “Continue Knitting Body section” as well as for the sleeves.
6. page 76, increase total underarm incorrect, should read 12 stitches rather than 18 for this vesion.
7. Page 79, if you are completing the sleeve with twisted moss stitch, and working in the round, just follow row one of the moss stitch pattern, between the asterix, for every row.
Here’s how it should read: (changes in red)
1. Right Front Lace Cable band (pages 74 & 75)
Row 1 (RS): ktbl, ptbl, yo, sk2p, yo, ptbl, ktbl, k1
Row 2 (WS): sl wyif, k2 tbl, p3, ktbl, ptbl
Row 3: ktbl, ptbl, ssk, yo, k1, ptbl, ktbl, k1
Row 4: sl wyif, k2 tbl, p3, ktbl, ptbl
Row 5: ktbl, ptbl, k3, ptbl, ktbl, k1
Row 6: sl wyif, k2 tbl, p3, ktbl, ptbl
2. Work in pattern as follows:
Follow the chart (see below) or written instructions for the Left Front Lace-Cable Band for the first 8sts, slm, M1 if required, slm, work Lace-Cable Band, slm, M1 if required, work moss st over the sleeve, slm, M1 if required, M1 if required, slm, …
3. For sizes M&L only: (pages 75 & 76)
Row 51: M1 at each of the sleeve edge markers, but not at fronts. 8sts inc; (241, 249) sts
Row 55: M1 at each of sleeve edge markers, but not at fronts. 8sts inc; (249, 257) sts
4. For size L only: (page 76)
Row 57: Lg; Work incs at each of the sleeve edge markers, but not at fronts. 8sts inc’d; 257sts.
Row 61: Lg; Work incs at each of the sleeve edge markers, but not at fronts. 8sts inc’d; 265.
Row 63: Lg; Work incs at each of the sleeve edge markers, but not at fronts. 8sts inc’d; 273sts.
No more increases for size L, continue to work 273sts in pattern 7 more rows and then follow the instructions for separate sleeve stitches.
5. Divide Sleeve Stitches and Try On
(page 76) Run a length of scrap yarn through the 39 (42, 45) sts of the Left Front body. Place the 39 (45, 51) Left Sleeve stitches on a separate length of scrap yarn. Continue the scrap yarn from the front stitches around to pick up the 69 (75, 81) Back sts. Place the 39 (45, 51) Right Sleeve sts on a third length of scrap yarn separate yarn holder. Continue the scrap yarn from the back around to the remaining 39 (42, 45) sts of the Right Front body. Tie off the lengths of yarn holding the sleeve stitches (allowing an extra 4cm/1.5in of length on each), and try on…

Knit the Left Front stitches in pattern, up to the armhole. Use a temporary co to add 9sts under the arm. Continue knitting the back in pattern to the right underarm. Again, using a provisional cast on, add 9sts and then continue knitting front in pattern, working the new underarm sts in moss st. 165 (177, 189) sts…
6. Set up stocking stitch panels as follows: (page 77)

Swoon
January 25th, 2012
There is a mistake in the number of rows knitted in Swoon. The pattern says that there are 60rws knit before joining at the underarm, and 60 rows after the underarm for a total of 120 rws before beginning the double bobble edging. There are, in fact, 72 rows before and after the armhole, making a total of 144 rws before the double bobble edge is begun.
Here’s how it should read (changes in red):
Back (page 55)
Using scrap yarn,CO 179sts with provisional cast on. Follow the 24 rows of chart or written instructions for Wrapped Stocking Stitch.
Repeat the 24 rows of Wrapped Stocking Stitch twice more and then knit the first twelve rows of sequence again (72rows). You have arrived at the underarm. Put all back stitches on a holder and work fronts to the underarm.
***
Right Front (page 55)
Working on the right shoulder of the back (as it would be worn) pick up 74sts with the RS of fabric facing, so that your needle point comes out at right shoulder. Follow the chart or written instructions for Wrapped Stocking Stitch, Rows 1-24. Repeat the 24 rows of Wrapped Stocking Stitch twice more (72 rows). You have arrived at the underarm. Break yarn and put all right front stitches on hold.
***
Left Front (page 56)
Working on the left shoulder of the back (as it would be worn) pick up 74sts with the RS of fabric facing, so that your needle point comes out at neckline. Work Rows 13-24 of chart or written instructions for Wrapped Stocking Stitch. Repeat the 24 rows of the Wrapped Stocking Stitch twice more and then knit Rows 1-12 again (72 rows). You have arrived at the underarm.
***
Joining at the Underarm (page 56)
Beginning at the Left Front neckline, knit pattern Row 13 for 74sts. Cast on 3sts using backward loop method. Continuing in pattern, knit 179 Back sts. Cast on 3sts. Knit the final 74sts of Right Front in pattern.

Thank you miss Juju. xxx
Re Swoon … Oh dear! I am just at the joining on of the lace edgings (both sleeves done, long neck edging in progress) and I wondered why the sleeve edgings gathered so much! It’ll block out a good bit, but I think this is going to be a present for my granddaughter – I can’t bear to frog the entire project.
Cora, I’m so sorry! You can try just reknitting the sleeves so they are two repeats less. This will make them fit the slightly shortened armholes, which are still plenty big!
Let me know if I can help with more specific details.
Oh, my….just got my book and I LOVE swoon. I am just learning charts, so thrilled that you have the row by row, too. But my first question is…. what is 3sw?? Did I miss it somewhere?
Glad you like it! I noticed the 3sw symbol was missing from the back flap but the explanation for it is on the front flap.
hello
I have 2 questions regarding swoon
1. can you please write me that how can i make the 3sw more snug. mine looks looser in compare to the 3sw on swoon picture.
2. for provisional cast on did you use the crochet method or two needles.
thanks much
Hi,
To make the 3sw snugger, pull the yarn more tightly around the stitches. Usually the problem is the other way, with people pulling the yarn too tightly.
The provisional cast on I use looks like this. I am currently making a video of myself doing it, which should be loaded up to the blog in a couple of weeks.
HOpe that helps.
Juju
Berry Wrap
Please can you advise regarding the berry stitch chart. I am referring to rows 16 and 20 where there is a symbol which represents inc3- RS(k,yo,k) WS(p,yo,p). The written directions advise to do k,yo,k on WS rows. Which is correct?
Sorry about that. It seems there was a mistake in the symbols at the back of the book. The symbol should read the same for both front and back, (k,yo,k). To be honest, it wouldn’t matter much though if you were to knit it (p,yo,p). I will make a note in the pattern errata. Thanks for pointing it out.
Juju
Hi,
I’m at the point in Swoon where I am knitting the Double Bobble Edge. In the instructions for Row 6 you refer to some tips on picking up the stitches from Row One and purling together with the stitches on the needles being on the blog.
I’ve had a search on the blog but can’t find it. Is it here yet and, if it is, can you give me a link?
Ta.
Hi,
I’m just making a video to support this now. I didn’t get it done before the book was published. So, that is why you can’t find it. I will be knitting one in a few days time and will take photos of the technique and put them on the blog to help. I’m using a different yarn this time that is a little more difficult than the Priairie used orginally. I will be putting in a lifeline at the first row to be picked up. I recommend doing that.
Juju
I’m writing with respect to the brown-eyed susan shawl. I’ve already finished knitting two of these shawls (the small version) and I’ve had no bother with the written instructions. The shawls have turned out perfectly. Perhaps the errors you mention concern the chart (which I can’t use I’m afraid). In any case, I’m very happy with my shawls and am next going to knit the large version. May I say I love all your patterns but am a bit apprehensive about being CAPABLE of following the instructions. Regards.
juju
i am knitting the right front of the swoon, and the 74 stiches does not work numberwise with the wrapped stich
pattern starting with row 7. i think the number of stiches for the left front does not work either. please let me know if this is an error.
I don’t think there is an error here. If you’d like to tell me exactly what your problem is I can try to help.
juju
Hi, me too, after you have 3sw they are on the left needle do you then knit these, making 14 k (11plus the 3sw) or just slip them back to rh needle? Thanks
I’m also having the same problem as Freba.
When I come to the 74 stitches of right front (with rs facing and needle coming out of right shoulder) the first set of 3ws on row 7 is k4, but the corresponding set on the back is also 4 knit stitches in.
Surely they should alternate.
I can see this will happen on the left front instructions too.
Waited four days for a response to this, but had to get on with it. I chose to keep in pattern (alternating wraps) rather than have corresponding wrapped stitches which would have looked wrong.
Now I find that the front and back are out of sync.
This is either a very badly written pattern, or there is more errata. Why aren’t these patterns properly tested before final print run? Most frustrating and disappointing!
Sorry, I’ve been away, but back now. Are you working from the first or second edition of the book. If you are working from the first edition follow the errata to correct the pattern after armhole. Staying in pattern will work.
Hi
Did you use all of the 2 skeins? I am substituting and wonder just how much total yarn I will need.
Thanks!
oops, that question was about “Swoon” sorry..
I’m knitting the small Brown Eyed Susan but I would like it to be a bit bigger but not as big as the large. Can I just increase enough sts to add an extra 2 pleat repeats (or 4) I can’t see any reason why not but there might be something I haven’t thought of!
Thanking you in advance for your reply
Yes you can. Are you the one who is talking to Liz about this variation?
Hellow – I love the Brown Eyed Susan Shawl but am unsure what the k1w means/is – can you refer me to a book or website for more explanation? Did finish the shawl and love it – want to make another but blundered through the k1w. Thanks Jackie
The description of K1w in the front of the book reads:
You are making three yarn overs in place of one knit stitch. They don’t look like much on that row. The next row they the outside yo get knit together with the stitches on either side, stretching the centre stitch open.
Hope that helps. I will be making a video to support this soon.
juju
Hello, I just noticed a minor error on Row 39 of the Prairie Shawl’s written instructions. The first K3 should be K2. The chart is correct, however.
PS I LOVE this shawl.
You’re right! Thanks. I’m off to correct that now.
Thanks for letting me know.
juju
The stitch counts on the Prairie Shawl are not adding up correctly, unless of course, I am counting incorrectly. The CO is 246. Row 6 is slwyif, k2, pm, *k16, pm* rep * to * 14 times, k3.
16 X 14 = 224 plus 3 at the beginning and 3 at the end = 230.
Please help.
Sorry, there is a mistake. It should say:
Juju
Hi,
Congratulations for this wonderful book and these great patterns! With another French girl, we have chosen to knit “Swoon”. But we have a question about “3sw”. After having wraped 3 times the 3 stiches, do we have to knit them ou do we have just to slip them on the right needle and knit the 11 following stiches?
Thank you very much for your answer!
You could treat them either way but I slipped them and didn’t knit until the next row.
Juju
Hi,
I think I’ve found another error in Cinnamon Girl. On page 74 under the paragraph ‘Work in pattern as follows’ shouldn’t the make one be before slipping the marker on the sixth line?
I wrote it out because I was getting confused and it’s the only time when you’re directed to make one in the same section as the lace cable band.
Many thanks and congratulations on a beautiful book – I love it.
Felicity
Felicity,
You’re right! Thanks for pointing this out. We are just sorting out all the mistakes for our reprint so this is very helpful!
Juju
Hi Juju,
Luckily I have just begun Swoon…in time to make the corrections. I just hate to mark up your BEAUTIFUL book. I have copied the pages and made the corrections there…..I guess eventually I will have to change the book….ir perhaps just print out the errata and insert it. Any suggestions??
susann
We love, love, love the layering shrug. Any pattern for it?
Never mind. I just found it! Thank you
Hi there,
Another couple of questions for you about Cinnamon Girl:
1. Where it says ‘No more increases for size M’ your directed to make 12 more rows, but shouldn’t it be an odd number as in for the S and L sizes? Also because you have to start from the left front panel but this leaves you finishing on the right.
2. At the end of the paragraph ‘Continue knitting the body’ I have 195 stitches, which minus the provisional ones makes 177. Does the 177 include or exclude the 18 provisionally cast on stitches? I hope so otherwise I’ve got 18 extra stitches from somewhere!
Thanks,
Felicity
Ignore my second question – some severe mis-counting had been taking place!
Felicity
Hi
I’m knitting Brown-eyed Susan and I’m getting stuck with row 16/17. In order to get to 33 stitches I have knitted 16 rows. Row 17 is a WS row so row 18 is the RS row with the 16sts increase. I have taken RS rows as being even rows. Am I counting right?
Odd Rows are right side rows as in most patterns.
Thank you for making errata so easily found. I own the book and am on Ravelry and I found it first online, then saw the page in the book. Glad it was in both places. Love the book and that darling doll!!
On row 6 of the Prarie Shawl, what is pm? I can’t find the explanation anywhere. Many thanks.
pm means place marker.
Hi! I just started Cinnamon Girl (love it), and I’m confused by the increase section. When it says in Row 3 (and others) to M1 at each of the sleeve edge markers, but not at fronts, wouldn’t that mean you’d be increasing by 4 sts, not 8? Even if you’re to increase at the back edges too, that would only raise it to 6 sts increased across the whole row. Since the lace cable bands count as parts of the front and back and not the sleeves, there are only 4 markers at the sleeves. Or am I missing something?
Thanks!
Sarah
[...] needles and made the Large size. If you’re planning on making one yourself, there are several errata on the Loop website, though I didn’t think point 4 was right because following that would have had me increasing [...]
Where is the pattern for the layering shrug on page 92.
I thought in the second edition it would finally be included.
Why show something that is not available took it ????
Marcile
I have just finished the body of the Swoon shawl and am ready to begin to sew on the lace trim. I still have live stitches on the back neck and can’t find any directions for what to do with them. Did I miss a direction?
The back neck live stitches get grafted to the lace collar.
I am a little confused – are there patterns in this book for the layering shrug and the crow waltz shawl? They are in the table of contents, listed just like all the other items that have patterns, but I only find photos. I have the second edition.
Thanks.
Catherine
I’m working on the Berry Wrap and have started the main “berry” pattern, but the first tie end looks nothing like the pictures in the book. The directions had me increase, then create a pleat and then increase again until the start of the berry pattern. I assume the first half of the tie end will actually be the facing? But then I don’t have the m1, k2, m1 pattern going all the way through…the pleat is on the right side which I don’t see at all in the photos. Did I mis-read the directions? Great patterns BTW!
Thanks.
Cinnamon Girl question: on page 74 in the “next row ws” paragraph should there be a repeat of the p1, k1 group on the opposite end of the large moss stitch area?
Help, am really enjoying knitting the Brown Eyed Susan shawl, but have come unstuck on the written petal pleat instructions on row 24 , I think that the repeat might be p15 k7 , not as it says p15 k5 . The chart seems to indicate p15 k7, is this correct ?
With thanks Stacey
Silly me I wasn’t looking at the shaded area for the repeat on the chart,
