Hi, I am trying to work out the lace wheat stack pattern. It shows what to do for rows 1,3,5,7,9, and 11 but not for the even rows. Is anyone able to write the pattern. It seems an easy one, but I am having trouble. Thanks
The even numbered return rows and usually purling each stitch, so not written. HTH
You purl across those rows.
I believe you knit the purls and purl the knits (like in garter stitch, if you knit the stitch in the previous row, you purl the current row.)
I prefer written patterns as I am easily confused with charts
I would assume that this depends on whether you’re knitting in the round or flat… I’d assume if you’re knitting in the round, you would knit the even rows and if you’re knitting flat, you would purl.
Hi! I was trying out the wheat stack lace knitting pattern I believe there is an error. The k1, yo, k1 in the same stitch makes too many stitches. I think you need a double decrease here, probably left leaning, to compensate for the four yarn overs in the repeat.
P.S. Felicity: the rows that are not numbered are just plain knitting but for the purls. Maintain those throughout the pattern. That is if you’re knitting flat, you’ll knit them on the wrong side.
Hi Felicity,
The even numbered rows are plain knitting but for the purls. If you’re knitting your project flat, on the wrong side, you would purl every stitch except for the stitches that are purls on the right side. On the wrong side you would knit them.
Also see my comment about the error. Very important.
