Hi Marianna, pin offer is very pretty. Thanks for lovely pattern. I have started knitting this but want to ask you a question.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote after the 9th & 10th Row repeat the last 2 Rows 24 times more. So I want to know should I repeat EACH row 24 times or both rows together 24 times? Pls make this clear bcoz the skirt looks too small.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry Pinoffer not pin offer. It's a typing mistake.
ReplyDeleteHi, after completing my Pinafore length is only 11 1/2 inches why ?
ReplyDeleteI not only knitted the 24 rows but I added 4 more rows as you said could be added if we wish.
In spite of that my length is short & u said length should be 14 1/2 inches.
Pls clear this. Thanks.
