If you are not familiar then just google "Provisional cast on" and look at a few different ways and choose the one you like best. <br />kriskrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909843489998811502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-48971568577924194342016-01-28T21:15:45.158-06:002016-01-28T21:15:45.158-06:00I do not understand the beginning directions: usin...I do not understand the beginning directions: using waste yarn co your chosen amount of stitches .

So instead of repeating rows 1-6 10(11,12) times you may want to repeat them 13 times. YOu can always hold the knitting up to your calf, wrap it around and see if it looks like a fit. If still too small, knit rows 1-6 yet again and check.kriskrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909843489998811502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-39320311030706955032015-01-25T22:50:22.120-06:002015-01-25T22:50:22.120-06:00I have 18" calves.

There are no increases nor decreases in this pattern so somewhere you are adding or losing a stitch - I don't know. You may want to go to a local yarn shop and show them how you are knitting they can probably spot what your trouble is. kriskrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909843489998811502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-9743505823767994592015-01-06T14:45:00.399-06:002015-01-06T14:45:00.399-06:00Anonymous - The instructions tell me to cast on 3...Anonymous - The instructions tell me to cast on 33 stitches.

When you cast on...This is a very common technique. When you cast on with waste yarn, then start knitting the pattern with your main yarn - this leaves the first row of your main yarn "live" to be picked up later. Later, when indicated by my pattern (at the end) you pick up the "live" main yarn stitches and remove/pull out/cut away the waste yarn. You can google "provisional cast on" to see different ways in which people cast on with waste yarn. <br />If you were simply to cast on with your main yarn and not the waste yarn your first row stitches would be "closed" and not "live". Don't know how else to explain it but it is again, a very common thing to do. kriskrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909843489998811502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-28419258211843522302014-11-08T21:47:10.685-06:002014-11-08T21:47:10.685-06:00Hello!!
