Hi all,
One of my vintage patterns is giving someone a headache and I can't
wrap my brain around the stitch pattern either. Can any of you wise
knitters assist?
The pattern in question is the purple ladies jersey at:
http://www.vintagepurls.net.nz/womenspatterns.html#LadiesJersey
The abbreviation causing problems is: "K. 2 in L." The instructions
for this abbreviation read: "drop next 2 sts. down so that there are 7
loops, then k. 1, p. 1 under these loops.
The occurs in row 7 and 15 of a 16 row pattern.
Row 7 reads: K. 5, *turn, cast on 2, turn, k. 2 in L., turn, cast on
2, turn, k. 2; rep from * till 3 rem., k. 3.
Row 15: K. 1, * turn, cast on 2, turn, k. 2 in L., cast on 2, k. 2;
rep from *, ending cast on 2, k. 2 in L., cast on 2, k. 1.
Can anyone make sense of this?
Many thanks in advance,
VP

Good Heavens no - and I've never been stumped yet! I can only suggest that
you throw caution to the winds and experiment.
Very pretty pattern though - and aren't those models skinny? Even the
'Fuller Figure' one - I mean, 38 - 39" bust a fuller figure?
I wish!
If you do work it out will you post it?

Drop the next 2 stitches and unravel them 7 rows. Then insert your
needle into all the loops and k1, p1 in them.

You'll CO 2 sts, then in the next 2 on the needle, drop them, unravel
and knit as above, CO 2 more, k2 and repeat.

At least that's what I figure it is...

Suzee has it. This gives an upside down V look at that point. Just be sure
that the stitches you are laddering are the correct ones. They should be
the two stitches directly over the cast on 2 stitches seven rows below.
