Coralux Summer Cowl

Hi there, fellow craft lovers!

You were such a big help with the coral pattern, and I’m hoping for some advice now, too.
I’m supposed to knit 2 stitches together purlwise, resulting in 1 purl stitch and 1 knit stitch.
I’m sure it’s similar to that. But how?

Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Marina

Hello Marina,
If this is a pattern from Crazypatterns, then you can ask the author (male or female) directly via private message or in the comments section of the pattern. If you’d like, I can also ask the author for you.

If it’s not a pattern from CP, then you’ll have to be patient until one of our active authors here on the forum chimes in with some info. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to knit—otherwise I would have helped you.

Good luck!

Hello Josefa,
thank you very much for your reply.

The pattern was available for free from CP via JaWolle.

Best regards
Marina

@Marina
I’ve asked JaWolle via private message to answer your question here in this thread—please also write which pattern it is.

Hi Marina,

I just downloaded the pattern and had to grab my needles and yarn to try it out, because the pattern is extremely poor and not a good example of the patterns on Crazypatterns:

- You purl 2 stitches together - just like a normal purl stitch, except that you work it through 2 stitches from the previous row (that is the purl stitch)

- then you insert the needle through those same two stitches from the previous row - but from the front, as if you were knitting a knit stitch, and pull the yarn from back to front through those stitches (that is the knit stitch)

- you then repeat these two steps until the end of the row

- this row is repeated over and over

If you need any more help, feel free to message me.

Best regards,
Gabi

Hello Gabi, hello Crazypatterns team!

Thank you very, very much for your help.
You’ve helped me a great deal.
It’s wonderful that you’re here and always ready to help.
Thank you

@KnitBig-FeelGreat, you're right, the pattern is so incredibly "extremely bad" that it has 5 stars from 116 reviews .... 

@Norge, we're happy to help you with any questions about the pattern. Just send us a PM or contact us directly using the contact details listed in the pattern.
I think your current questions have already been clarified; if not, you know how to reach us. Unfortunately, I don't manage to check the forum regularly.
Best regards, Dominik

@ Dominik
read the comments on the stars - they were mainly reviewing the presentation of the pattern, and it is nice to look at and appears professional.

However, DreamsArt already pointed out to you 2 months ago that this part of the pattern cannot be understood like this, but you still have the old version online. 

To me, "extremely bad" is when, as a long-time knitter, I need 3 attempts and have to rip it back twice just to work out a simple pattern. As I already wrote in the comments: it really is so easy to fix this mistake. Feel free to use my explanation above and simply copy it in.......

What I mainly meant by the "extremely bad" review was that your pattern is not a good example of free patterns, because there are a lot of people here who put much more effort into their free patterns.

And we all want customers to be happy with a free pattern, because some of these customers will eventually become paying customers, right?

Best regards (no hard feelings)
Gabi

@KnitBig-FeelGreat, of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I'm in no way angry with you or holding a grudge—subjective impressions are always different, of course.
But there is simply a polite tone and then a... well, let's say a different one.

But thank you for your permission to use your text.

Have you received the answer yet?
Here’s mine: knit the two stitches together, keep them on the needle, and then knit the desired stitches from them.
Let me know if that works

Here’s my answer: knit the two stitches together, don’t slip them off the needle, and then knit the desired stitches from them.

Have fun!

Hello Maricha,

thanks for your reply,
it’s working perfectly

Best regards,
Marina

Hello everyone
When I knit this loop as instructed, it turns out compact rather than airy.
Are both the front and back worked in the pattern stitch, or am I misunderstanding something?!

Hi there!

The back is worked differently from the front.

You might need to use a larger needle size so the pattern turns out looser.

Have fun
Marina

Hello

What does it mean that the wrong side is different from the right side?! There’s absolutely no mention of that

Help

Here you go

Can someone please help me?
Thanks a lot

Row 1 and Row 2 are different

I understand that part... but how do you work the wrong side row?

Repeat rows 1 and 2.
Row 2 is the wrong side row.

Hahaha, if the right-side row isn’t knitted the same way as the wrong side row, then how is it knitted???????

I think you have the pattern.
The pattern consists of 2 rows that are repeated over and over.

It seems I can’t help you any further.
Maybe you’ll find someone else.

Good luck

@Norge
Still, thank you very much
