We've had a couple of calls from readers about the Rico Design Bonus Pattern and the Luxe Lace socks. We're thrilled that you're knitting our patterns and apologise for the following mistakes.
Rico Design Bonus Pattern
The stitch count is wrong after the armhole shaping and should read:
Shape armhole
With RS facing, cast off 3 sts at beg of next row, then 2 st at beg of foll alt row. [88 (86) sts]
Cast off 1 st at beg of 3 (4) foll alt row. [82 (86) sts]
When back meas 20¾ (22)in, 53 (56)cm, cast off.
The collar should read K1, P1 rib, not K2, P2.
Luxe Lace Socks
Round 1 should read *K4, P3 to keep the rib at the top in line with the rest of the pattern.
There is also an abbreviation missing from the side bar. If you haven't come across p2sso before, it means 'pass 2 slip stitches over'.
To clarify, therefore, the instruction 'sl 2 together, K1, p2sso' is not a misprint: slip two stitches at the same time (as though to k2tog), knit the following stitch then pass the two slipped stitches over the stitch just knit. This creates the vertical decrease in the lace pattern.
On a personal note, as this is my first sock pattern for the magazine, I'm thrilled people are knitting it! I hope the mistakes don't prevent you from enjoying it.
