01 The Lima CollectionHot Water Bottle
The pattern states that 4 x 50g balls are needed. This is wrong. There are only two balls needed, and the kit for this pattern contains two balls. 02 The Iona CollectionThe Iona Cushion cover (fair isle version) only takes 2 x 50g balls in the MC, not 3 as written in the pattern, and is knitted in 8mm needles only, not 6.5mm as listed in the materials.
The Iona Hot Water Bottle cover just uses 8mm needles, not 6.5mm as listed in the materials. 04 The Chullu CollectionHat
Straight after changing to 5mm, Next row: [K5 (9), M1] to last 0 (4) sts, kfb, k0 (4). 96 (104) sts should read: Next row: [K5 (9), M1] to last 0 (4) sts, k0 (4). 96 (104) sts Further down the same page, Next row (WS): [K2, k2tog] to end. 36 (39) sts. This should be a RS row. 05 Tea Cosies for VictoryOne the decrease row for each tea cosy (begins *Next row:) it should say (K2tog) rep to end, not (K2), rep to end.
07 Berwyn's AdventuresTo Fit
Size 2yrs should read 2yrs + and size 3 yrs should read 3yrs + Sara CardiganOn rows 21 for the Centre Back (stitches 13 - 18) and the Sleeves (stitches 24 - 29), the centre 6 stitches should be wrapped three times. This has been missed off the chart and the key. The way you do this is to slip these 6 stitches onto a cable needle before working them, wrap the yarn around the stitches anti-clockwide three times, slip the 6 sts back onto your left hand needle, and then work them in pattern as given on the chart.
If you are unclear about how they should look, then it can be viewed on the photo of the back of the cardi in the pattern. MAKING UP There is an error in the number of stitches given here for the stitches left on holder from the Back Neck. It should read 28 (32, 36, 36, 36, 40, 42) sts. This affects the stitch count for the button and buttonhole band. It should be 243 (253, 269, 275, 279, 287, 295). (If you find that your tension is slightly different for the right and left front sections, then by all means adjust the number of stitches you pick up here but make sure that your overall stitch count is an ODD number.)
