  2. SLIP the stitch. Just slide the stitch onto the other needle without doing anything to it

  3. hi, i'm confused with the sleeves on the 0-3 months size - it says cast on 27 and then knit 6 rows in garter stitch and then 36 rows in stocking stitch, increasing one stitch at each end of 5th, 11th, 17th and 23rd rows to end with 25 stitches but if you're only adding 4 stitches you end up with 31 stitches not 35, am i going wrong somewhere?

    1. Yes , its add stich at EACH end , therefore 4 added twice making 27 + 8 =35

      Delete
  4. 4 rows you are increasing . Adding one at each end =x 2 & 4 rows = 8 . 27 + 8 is 35 . I know is post was set almost 2 months ago . I how your knit came out well ;)
