Calling my knitter friends...
Feb. 19th, 2007 07:04 pmI'm working on this pattern: fingerless gloves. (Scroll down for the English translation).
So I've come to the beginning of the thumb gusset. This is the instruction:
"...start with the thumb gusset increases, for that increase eight times in every third round one st after st 58 and before st 1."
I have read this over and over, and I'm just dizzy. Does this mean increase eight stitches every three rounds? (there are 60 stitches on dpns)? Does it mean increase once every three rounds, eight times, for a total of 24 rows?
The first way sounds like it would make a huge thumb hole, but the second way doesn't seem like it would increase enough at all. Is there another way of reading this that I'm just totally blanking on?
HELP!
