I see in the comments it says the pattern has been corrected. If it has, it doesn't appear to be posted on this page.
I would love to make this adorable pumpkin, however the instructions are not very clear!! I think STst is stockinette stitch, but im not sure?
Next Row -Knit 2tog k5. What happens now? Repeat the K2tog k5, knit to end of row, knit to seven from end of row, or what?
Says the pattern is now fixed, but apparently not.
The pumpkin as pictured is very cute but the directions are not clear at all. Too bad.
What do you do with the last 5 stitches on the first k2tog row?
Thank you so much!!! :-D
This pattern has now been fixed. I missed out a few line breaks in the formatting and hence the confusion.
I agree with the other comment! I wanted to make this but have no idea how to read the pattern. It looks like you do the stockinette stitch for 18 rows and then maybe try following the stuff after that. These patterns need to be proof read before posting them. Please amend the pattern so "everyone" can understand it
Pattern makes no sense, but would love to see it clarified.
we looooove its cuteness but the pattern isn't very clear to me.
