Trying to get 94sc for clue 2 but unsure about the set up row. I’m assuming there are (4) sc to start followed by inc sc, then *repeat sc in next 3, sc inc repeat * to last 4 sts. However my last sc inc is landing in the 1st of last 4. Are we to skip this last inc. and have sc in the remaining (7) sts.?
I’ve tried working this out but have been unsuccessful. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻 Thank you!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Kelly! I apologize, there were a few extra words there - you start right in with the repeat. I've edited the pattern! There was a lot of "live" editing during the event and I missed that bit, my apologies!
Kelly Hatzmann says
Oh no apology needed Tamara. I really appreciate the help and this beautiful pattern. I will try sc first 3, inc sc to the end 🤞🏻Thank you
