Sahara - Pattern Error Found

I posted to craftster and others confirmed the error, if you don't catch it you will increase in the wrong spot.

Hip Increases
k to marker m1l, sm, k to next m, sm, m1r, k to next marker, m1l, sm, k to next marker, sm, m1r

The issue there is, there are not 4 markers, but 6 markers on your needles at this point. I have 4 in pink, and 2 in blue. My two blue markers are both under the armpitts and mark the round start, and half way point. They never told you to remove the halfway point and in fact later reference it.

However, the Hip Increases act as though you have 5 on the needle (4 for the increases and 1 end round marker). So if your not careful and you follow those instructions above you will do the 3rd increase under the arm, and the 4 in the place that the 3rd should have been, and then the last marker before the end will have nothing. Saharah doesn't have increaes on the absolute sides like some patterns, they are more spread out.

The Stitch Diva errata page doesn't seem to have it yet.

I believe it should read like this;

Hip Increases
k to marker m1l, sm, k to next m, sm, m1r, k to underarm marker and slip with no increase, k to next marker, m1l, sm, k to next marker, sm, m1r

Comments

Did you forward the error info to Stitch Diva? I'll send her a link to your blog so she can have the tech editor go over it, etc.

Hi,

I´m knitting Sahara from the pattern now, and it´s been corrected :)
