I posted this in 2016 and thus has remained unchanged.<br />I don't believe I've ever used M1 in my patterns as I don't care for that increase. Perhaps you used a different copycat pattern elsewhere before. <br />Kriskriskrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909843489998811502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-30921238075503080812022-06-16T16:29:00.582-05:002022-06-16T16:29:00.582-05:00I made one slipper and going to make the second.

They give Christmas hats, scarves, etc to mariners at Christmas. Most of their patterns use worsted weight, but I like the extra warmth of bulky yarn for slippers.

If not, then yes, you may have an issue and it would not be the right size. Best to do a gauge swatch and see if your stitch/row sizes are correct. If not then you may want to use a different yarn. Thin yarn really is not right for this pattern. kriskrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909843489998811502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-68956690269800662032020-12-28T09:41:04.992-06:002020-12-28T09:41:04.992-06:00How wide should the sole be?

[39(40,41,42) sts] <br />You are only making one decrease with that p2tog, thus leaving you with 40 stitches after completing that row. <br /><br />If you have more sts left I really cannot say how you went from 41 sts after completing row 27 to having many more. ?? I am truly at a loss. <br /><br />Thousands have made this pattern and there are no problems so I have to think perhaps you are reading something wrong, I just don't know. kriskrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909843489998811502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-70595363566988328422020-05-17T15:49:12.621-05:002020-05-17T15:49:12.621-05:00I have the correct number of stitches on the whole...I have the correct number of stitches on the whole row after completing Row 27 (42 stitches for M size).

I’m getting confused after the “DON’T TURN” and proceeding to finish the row with 14 knit stitches, but it doesn’t even come close to finishing out the row? In other words, after completing all the stitches in Row 27’s instructions, I have many un-worked stitches left in the row. I don’t know how to finish off this row and also proceed to the next.
