I just did the math with my little scale and came up with around 150 yards, which I think seems about right. I think working with two skeins (90 yards each) to produce the double weight, I had a bit left from each one.
I think I meant to cast on two new stitches. You can do this with your single strand of yarn, or you can use a second short strand as if you were casting on in the beginning.
I need to clarify the pattern, the YO's aren't correct. Basically in row 6 you're binding off a few stitches and then finishing the row to create the first half of the button hole, and then in row 7 you're adding stitches to make up for the bound off stitches by using a YO before each knit stitch. Hope this help, I'll have the pattern fixed in the next few minutes!

By any chance do you know how much yarn this needs?

DeleteYoyo means wrap around the needle twice. Slip stitch slip stitch doesn't work either.
ReplyDeleteGotcha. You said at the end of row 7 to yoyo and k2 p2. But there are 5 stitches left not 4. I'm doing something wrong.
ReplyDeleteWould love to knit one of these for my Mom before Christmas!
ReplyDeleteRow 6 and Row 7 are not making any sense to me either.
Can you please clarify?

ReplyDeleteI see that you have removed this pattern from your website. I am still very interested in it. Do you plan to repost?
