I have a bit of an errata for the Lacey Trellis Spiral Poncho pattern. I had a few people make the pattern but discover that they were not ending with a number that would allow them to create the trellis portion of the poncho. I went back to the math and discovered that there was a bit of a problem. For the spiral to work, your final row definitely was a multiple of 8, but it also has to be a multiple of 6 stitches + 4.
Here is a chart of how it works:
Original | |||||
Starting multiple of 8 | 32 | 56 | 80 | 104 | 128 |
Row 3 (increase) | 40 | 64 | 88 | 112 | 136 |
Row 4 (increase) | 48 | 72 | 96 | 120 | 144 |
Row 5 (increase) | 56 | 80 | 104 | 128 | 152 |
Row 6 (before sprial) | 64 | 88 | 112 | 136 | 160 |
Any of the combination in this chart will work. The original pattern was started with 80 stitches and ended with 112 before the spiral row began.
I apologize for any confusion or frustration! I hope you will share your pictures of your ponchos with me!
