Loop pattern errata

Sorry folks! We hate that we  have to post anything on this page, but if there are mistakes we will endeavour to correct them here.

Publications are listed chronologically with corrections in alphabetical order below. Check the front of your book to see whether you have a first or second edition.

Baby Cloud Cardigan, February 2024

Please note, the instructions for the button row on row 5  should read:
Row 5 (buttonhole row)(RS): [K to marker, M1r, SM, k1, SM, M1l] 4 times, k to last 4 sts ssk, yo, k2

Loop’s Mehlsen Geranium Scarf Kit Errata, October 2022

Geranium Scarf Kits sold in October 2022 were missing Chart F from the pattern. We apologise for the omission. Chart F can be found here: https://www.loopknitlounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Loop-Geranium-Chart-F.pdf

Loop’s 10 Errata, Edition 1, published September 2015

Autumn Leaves by Paulina Popiolek

Page 116 – Mistake in Lace Border Chart

RS row in the written instructions begins with Sl1 pwise wyif, whereas if knitting from the chart, the corresponding symbol V is given as wyib.  Either way will work (as long as you remain consistent throughout the pattern) but we suggest wyif.

Islington Shawl by Kirsten Kapur
Page 26 – Mistake in chart legend. In the book the symbol for knit is described incorrectly as:

RS: purl
WS: knit

and of course should be:

RS: knit
WS: purl

Fifth symbol down of key (as shown above) should read as RS: K1tbl and WS : P1tbl. Written instructions are correct.

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

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

Summary of errors:

  1. Page 74/75: Typo “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. Page 75: Typo “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 version.
  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 asterisk, 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…
    Continue Knitting Body
      (page 76)
    Pop your needle back through the Left Front, Back and Right Front stitches, leaving the sleeves on the lengths of scrap yarn. 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)
    Continue to follow the chart or written instructions for the Left Front Lace-Cable Band for the first 8sts, slm, (kfb, k1) 12 (12, 13 times), kfb, slm, [38 (38, 43) sts in section]

    Continue to work Lace-Cable Band ove rth enext 7sts, slm, (kfb, k1) 4 times, kfb, slm, [12sts in section]…
  7. Twisted Moss Rib Written Instructions: (page 77)
    When knitted in the round, for a cuff (as in the pea soup version)  follow these instructions:
    Row 1: *Ptbl, k1, ktbl, k1* Repeat across sleeve stitches.
    Row 2: *Ptbl, p1, ktbl, p1*. Repeat across sleeve stitches.
    Repeat these two rows for desired length.

Instructions:
CO 246sts. Knit 5 rows, slipping the first stitch of every row with yarn in front. On the 6th row, s1wyif, k2, pm, *k16, pm*, rep * to * fourteen fifteen times, k3.

The next mistake occurs in the written instructions only:

Rw39: S1wyif, k2, ssk, k6, yo, k1, yo, k3 k2, sk2p, *K10, yo, k1, yo, k2, sk2p*, rep * to* ten more times, k14, k2tog, k3, 210sts.

Swoon

January 25th, 2012
There is a mistake in the number of rows knitted in Swoon. The pattern says that there are 60 rows knit before joining at the underarm, and 60 rows after the underarm for a total of 120 rows before beginning the double bobble edging. There are, in fact, 72 rows before and after the armhole, making a total of 144 rows 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.
  • Body instructions (page 56)
    Resume pattern Rows 14 – 24, following Wrapped Stocking Stitch Chart or written instructions. Repeat the 24 rows of the wrapped Stocking Stitch written instructions or chart twice more and then repeat rows 1-12 again…

We found an error in the stitch repeat of the written instructions for the fronts on rows 7 and 19 of the pattern:

Right Front Written Instructions (page 56)
Rows 7 (RS): K4, *3sw, k11*, rep  *to* four more times, 3sw, k4
Row 19 (RS): K11, *3sw, k11*, rep *to* four three more times, 3sw, k4.

Left Front Written Instructions (page 56)
