Hi everyone,

I sure hope someone can help me. I'm knitting this sweater

http://garnstudio.com/lang/en/visoppskrift.php?d_nr=113&d_id=28&lang=us

and have knit the body of the sweater and the sleeves. Now I'm ready
to knit the yoke, and will put the sleeves in place and work it all at
once. My problem is the berry pattern. I am totally confused as to
how to do the:

work 3 sts in 1 st as follows: P1, 1 YO, P1
and the
P3, lift first st over third st and lift second st over third st = 1
st left

Do you think I'm going to have to make a trip into my LYS?

Thanks for any help you can give...Linda D. in B.C., Canada

P1, YO, P1 is making two stitches in one, and means just what it says. In
the next stitch purl 1, YO, purl 1, an increase of two stitches.

> and the
> P3, lift first st over third st and lift second st over third st = 1

Purl the next 3 stitches, looking at the P3 on the right needle from left to
right, insert the tip of the left needle into the first purl. That is the
one fartherest from the tip of the needle With the tip of the left needle,
lift this stitch (1) over the last stitch on the right needle (3), do the
same thing with the remaining stitch (2)

321

You have just decreased to two stitches you added with the p1, yo, p1.

This video shows how to lift the stitches, but instead lifting two at one
time, you will only be lifting one.

Thank you, so much for taking the time to reply to my question.

I did have a "light bulb" moment yesterday afternoon, and set up a
test swatch, like Mary suggested. I cast on 36 stitches just like the
chart shows for the pattern repeat, which included the pattern repeat
on the chart, plus 12 stitches for the garter stitch border on the two
fronts. Somehow or another I lost 2 stitches, so have pulled that out
and will try again today.

This is such a great group!

thanks again...Linda D. in B.C., Canada

You probably missed a couple of YOs, a very easy thing to do.
Garn studio has some very nice patterns, but they seem to loose something
in the translation. Having charts does make it easier to figure out what
they mean.
