You may have noticed that the magazine instructions did not match up with our Youtube video tutorial which can be found here. Both the video and the written instructions in the magazine will work out correctly if used in isolation, but do not match up if used together. This is due to a left-handed/right-handed crocheting issue, which unfortunately we did not allow for. We do take accuracy very seriously and we are sincerely sorry for the confusion caused.

We would like to make it clear that this was an administrative error, and neither the designer nor Lou from Yarniversity were responsible for this – they have both done a great job!

To avoid any further confusion, you can find the version that will work with the video here, if you wish to use them together.

We hope you enjoy hooking the blanket.

Raglan Borders

The total number of htr groups for the Back border should be 15 (16: 17: 18: 19: 20).

The total number of htr groups for the Front border should be 16 (17: 18: 19: 20: 21), as the Front border is longer due to the Neck Shaping.

On the instructions for the Sleeve Borders and for Joining Raglan Borders, the shorter side will therefore be attached to the Back and the longer side to the Front, not the other way round as written.

Easter Egg Pull-Out Pattern Card

On the Easter egg pattern card we say that you can watch a tutorial on how to make these eggs on our Youtube channel – this refers to the stiffening process using the balloons and PVA glue, and not the crochet pattern itself (although you can find separate tutorials for the individual stitches). You can find the PVA glue video here.

You will require 2 balls of the Yarn A Pumice for these socks. We think the small size may be possible with just the one ball, but we would recommend airing on the side of caution and making sure you have 2 to avoid disappointment.

Lacy Cardigan by Amanda Crawford, p.28 & 29

On the First Front, before the first Armhole, the last row you need to work is a WS Row 3, not a Row 1 as stated. This row will be worked from the shoulder towards the bottom hem.

The following instructions replace those written for the Armhole in the magazine, to make the armhole rows correct in pattern:

For the Armhole, place a marker in the 15th (16th: 17th: 18th: 19th) tr from the start (shoulder) of the last row, skipping the ch-sps. Armhole should measure 20 (21: 22.5: 23.5: 25) cm.

Next Row (RS) Repeat Row 1 to marker, turn leaving rem sts unworked.

Next Row (WS) Repeat Row 2, turn.

Next Row (RS) Repeat Row 3 to end, ch42 (45: 48: 51: 54) for opposite side of armhole, turn.

Next Row (WS) Repeat Row 1 to end, turn. [127 (127: 139: 139: 139) sts]

You can then follow these corrected instructions when told to repeat the armhole.

Puff Stitch Mitts by Hannah Cross, p.25

On the Mitts section, rather than repeating Rows 1 and 2 for rows 3-18, work the following rows instead.

Row 3 Ch1 (does not count as st) *(dc, ch2, 5htr-puff) in next ch-2 sp, ch1, rep from * to last Puff St, dc in top of beg ch-2, turn.

Rows 4-18 Repeat Rows 2-3 seven more times, repeat Row 2 once more.

On the JOINING and EDGING section, it incorrectly says to use ‘Pearl Grey’. This is a mistake and should say Gray Lilac.

Filet Jumper on p.52

The yarn weight stated should be 4ply, and not DK.

The tension should be:

Rib – 26 rows of dc to 10cm (4in)

Filet – 8.5 mesh squares to 10cm (4in) and 9 rows to 10cm (4in)

It appears that the 4.5mm hook stated is also too large to achieve the tension stated. You could try a 4mm hook, or even a 3.5mm hook. It’s very important to work a tension swatch before you start to check that your hook size is giving you the tension stated in the pattern. Particularly in this case, where the 4.5mm hook is obviously too large, please do a test swatch to find out which size of hook will give you the tension stated above.

And the first row of the sleeves section is incorrect, it should read as follows:

Row 1 (RS) Ch5 (counts as tr, ch2 throughout), *skip ch-2 sp, tr in next tr, ch2; repeat from * to end, tr in last tr, turn. [30 (32: 34) mesh squares]

Pedro the Donkey on p.43.

One of the brackets in the reins section is in the wrong place, it should read as following:

Frank&Olive Doughnut Dress on p.50

On Round 1 of the Skirt, all stitches are tr stitches; it should read ‘tr in each ch of the ch-6 of the underarm’ and not dc as stated.

The yarn quantities stated in the original pattern for Magic Mint are incorrect. 1 ball is required for all sizes. All other yarn quantities are given correctly.

The alternative yarn suggested (DROPS Love 5) is no longer available. DROPS Paris is a close match with 75m per 50g. So we would suggest 2 balls of Paris for the yoke for all sizes.

As we are working out a substitute yarn that is sold in 50g balls not 100g balls we have simply doubled the quantities, however, it may be that 1 ball is sufficient for the yoke on the smallest size and for the cream stripe. It is impossible to calculate this accurately from the original sample so we have erred on the safe side by doubling quantities.

If you are planning on using a yarn substitute other than those that we have recommended, please remember to check the meterage as well as the weight so that you don’t end up buying too much yarn.

The sizing of the dress is generous, it is designed to be loose-fitting. Please ensure your swatch meets the tension given in the pattern for the best outcome.

Sleeves

And to clarify, when you’re working the sleeves, you should work until there are 50 rounds of the pattern, not including the first 3 dc rounds.

On the Back and Front, after the Armhole Divide and working the Right Front, you rejoin for the Back. On Row 2 (Decrease Row) and Row 3, the stitch counts for the largest two sizes should read 31 and 35 tr groups after Row 2 for sizes 16-18 and 20-22 respectively. This will make the counts for these sizes 32 and 36 after Row 3, and 28 and 32 after the repeats of Rows 2 and 3.

Due to unforeseen shade alterations by King Cole you may be unable to find the Silver yarn shade. So we recommend the following yarn shade substitutions for the A Good Vintage granny cardigan:

King Cole Merino Blend 4ply

Stone (904) to be replaced with Slate Blue (096)

Silver (036) to be replaced with Stone (904)

Slipper Socks, p.73

After Round 8, there is a round missing. For this missing round, work as follows:

Join Yarn F with a ss to any ch-4 sp, (ch3, ss in next ch-4 sp) 24 times, working last ss in first ss of Round.

You will then continue working from Round 9 of the pattern, but instead of joining Yarn F as written (you are already working with it), ss into the next ch-3 sp before starting. Round 9 refers to ch-4 sps of the previous round, so these will be ch-3 sps instead, but the stitches themselves are accurate.

When you have finished there will be a total of 12 rounds in the pattern.

‘Top of the crops’ jacket by Ilaria Caliri.

With a bold silhouette, cropped sleeves, huge pocket and jumbo button, this is one heck of a jacket. It’s hooked in berry-coloured wool and wins big in the style stakes.

Please note, the yarn used is Lana Grossa Feltro, which comes in 50g balls. The measurements table lists 100g balls but the number of balls is correct for 50g balls (as listed in the ‘You will need’ section). So for size 8 you will need 14 50g balls, for sizes 10 and 12 you need 15 50g balls, and so on.

The colour chart itself is correct, but the rows have been misnumbered. Number 79 is missing along the top, and number 88 is missing on the left. This means there are a total of 90 rows, rather than 91, but as long as you work each row of the chart in sequence you will get the right result.

The yarn quantities should be 3 balls each of Yarn A Aspen and Yarn B White, not 5 balls.

Lace collar by Elisabeth Davis de Herraiz

If you’re thinking of hooking this using Kidsilk Haze Shine please note you will need two balls, not one as stated in the pattern. It’s an luxury yarn, so if your budget can’t stretch to two balls you could use one ball of Rowan Shine as stated, and then buy one ball of Rowan Kidsilk Haze, which comes in exactly the same shade. Kidsilk Haze is less costly than Shine, and could be used to work Row 2, with Shine as Rows 1 and 3.

For another cheaper version, Scheepjes have a similar yarn to Kidsilk Haze called Mohair Rhythm. If you hooked the necklace in this yarn you could add beads rather than crystals for a similar effect.

Or if you still want to make it with just one ball of Kidsilk Haze Shine, you can tweak the pattern. The published pattern is written using 4 multiples of 14 sts 1. You could try using 3 multiples of 14sts 1, which is total of 43 sts, so the foundation ch would be ch43, plus an extra ch1 as turning ch for the beginning of Row 1. If you did this, for the ‘point’ of the pattern to be in the centre you would need to stagger the pattern repeat in a different way.

This chart (click to enlarge it) shows what would happen. The stitch pattern is the same as published but it starts the row in a different place. Obviously if you do this you will end up with a smaller collar piece, but you could use longer ribbons as ties instead of ch. It would also be worth using a 3.5mm hook instead of a 4mm hook to save yarn.

Mandala Waistcoat, p. 52-55

When beginning first segment, instead of reading “With Poppy Red, ch8 ss into first ch to form a ring” followed by “Row 1 (RS) Ch9…” it should read:

Ch17, ss into 8th ch from hook,

Then follow the pattern as you would have after the ch9 (so dc into next ch, her etc). This will leave your yarn in the right place to create the segment.

Sarong p.25

Row 1 should read ‘With Mint, ch5 (counts as ch, tr, ch),…’

Little Monster Cushion p.48

The first paragraph is mistaken – the limbs are worked in htr and only the features (Cheeks and Eyes) are worked in dc.

Treble Tee p.83

On the Sleeves section, there are 2 too many sts in the foundation ch for the number of sts worked in the row, so start by chaining 48 (50: 52: 56: 60: 68). Thereafter the stitch counts will be 2 more than the actual stitch count but continue working as written until you have worked the first row of the Top Shaping, and have continued decreasing as instructed until 22 (22: 22: 22: 24) sts remain. Complete the Sleeves as written.

Simply Crochet, Issue 33, Supplement: Round mandala blanket, p.4

Round 23 should read: Ch1 (does not count as st), dc in first ss, *ch2, skip next ch-3 sp, dc in next ss, ch1, skip next ch-3 sp, dc in next ss; rep from * around, ss in first dc. [42 ch-1 sp and 42 ch-2 sp]

Then follow the pattern for Round 24 making sure you just 6tr in every ch2 sp and not any ch1 sp.

Round 24 Ss into first ch-2 sp, ch3, 5tr in same ch-2 sp, 6tr in each following ch-2 sp around, ss in top of beg ch-3. [252 sts]

Round 26 Ch1, *dc in back loop only of next 5 sts, skip next st, 3-tr cluster in skipped ch-1 sp of Round 23; repeat from * around, ss in top of first st, change to Grape.

Round 35 has been re-written – the stitch counts themselves were correct. Round 35 Ss between first 2 sts, ch3, 5tr in same sp, *skip 6 sts, 6tr in sp before next st; repeat from * around, ss in top of beg ch-3. [42 6-tr groups]

Round 54 should read:

Working in the back loops only: ch4 (counts as tr and ch1), skip 1 st, *tr in next st, ch1, skip 1 st; rep from * around, ss in third ch of beg ch-4.

Round 57

There should be 2 stitches in this round for every 2 stitches in the previous round because the stitch count remains the same.

Ss between first pair of sts, ch3, tr in sp at base of ch, skip 1 st, (2tr between next pair of sts, skip 1 st) around, ss in top of beg ch-3, change to Parma Violet. [352 sts]

Bohemian Blanket, p.25

At the beginning of the pattern for the Narrow Half Diamond, there should be 4 rows of each of Anis and Hawaii, rather than the 3 stated. There are then 3 rows of all subsequent colours including the Hawaii and Anis at the end. This is to ensure that the diamonds are the right size to sew together with the other pieces.

Issue 33, main magazine

Patchwork Throw, p.16

Round 1 of the Edging states that you should work (2FPtr, ch2, 2FPtr) into the corner stitch. This will work on the first round, but thereafter you will be working into the ch-2 sps at the corners, so you will need to replace the FPtr sts with dtr stitches in order to work them into a chain space.

Lacy Cardigan, p.44

The correction replaces the whole of the Yoke section, and finishes before ‘Divide for Sleeves’.

Issue 30

If you’re hooking the Granny treble top – issue 30 – we have some extra help from our lovely technical editor, as several readers were confused by the instructions for the arm shaping.

Cara says “It looks odd that the first row increases by 2 clusters and the following rows only by 1, but it does work out this way if you follow the pattern as written. On this sketched chart, the rows of the main pattern are at the bottom of the chart, and the increases for the arm shaping are explained at the top of the chart.”

Simply Crochet issue 29

Issue 29

Long Sleeved Top, pg. 32

We’re sorry that there is a small mistake in the ‘You Will Need’ list for this pattern.

Yarn weight should read Aran, not 4ply. The stated hook size of 3mm is correct.

Lacy Shawl, p.58

The 5mm hook should not have been listed in the ‘You Will Need’ column. The entire pattern is worked on a 4.5mm hook.

Also, on Row 7, the shells should be worked in the ch-2 sps of the previous row, not ch-3 sps as written in the pattern.

Amigurumi Doll, p.64

The last round of the Dress, Round 17, should be worked in treble stitches and not dc as stated.

Embellish Cuff, p.66

Rows 2 and 3 should read as follows:

Row 2 Ch1 (does not count as st), dc into each of the next 4 sts, *(dc, ch7, dc) into the next st, dc into each of the next 7 sts; repeat from * across omitting the last 3 dc on the final repeat, turn.

Row 3 Ch3 (counts as tr), dc into the next st, skip 3 sts, *9dc into ch-7 sp, skip 3 sts, dc into the next st, tr in the next st, dc in the next st, skip 3 sts; repeat from * across omitting the last dc on the final repeat, turn.

Spike Stitch, on page 51.

Please note that the Basic Spike Stitch Pattern is correct as written, but you will need to fasten off the yarn and rejoin the new colour at the end of each row.

Spike Stitch Legwarmers

For the Legwarmers, use 3 balls of the shade used for the rib edges and 2 balls of the contrast shade.

At the beginning of Row 10, instead of ‘Ch3’, it should read ‘Ch5 (counts as tr and ch2)’.

Cabled Cardigan, p.41

On the Sleeves, after repeating Rows 5-12, it states that there should be 43 rows in total. There are actually 44 rows at this point, but all of the other maths details in this section are correct.

In addition, the 3-st cable pattern should be as follows:

Row 1 3dc.

Row 2 3dc.

Row 3 3FPtr.

Row 4 3dc.

Row 5 Skip 1 FPtr, 1FPtr in each of next 2 sts, 1FPtr into the skipped st, working in front of the existing sts.

Row 6 3dc.

Work Rows 3-6 as many times as required by pattern.

On the Head, work Rounds 12 onwards as follows:

Round 12 (4dc, dc2tog) 6 times. [30 sts]

Tunisian Shawl, p.43

The repeat instructions after Level 3 should read:

Repeat (Levels 2 and 3) a further 4 times, changing to next largest hook size before each Level 2. [11 levels in total]

To clarify the hook sizes used for each level, Levels 1, 2 and 3 are worked on a 5mm hook, Levels 4 and 5 on 5.5mm, Levels 6 and 7 on 6mm, Levels 8 and 9 on 6.5mm and Levels 10 and 11 on 8mm. All of these sizes are listed in the ‘You will need’ column at the beginning of the pattern.

Issue 24

We’re sorry, we have a correction for issue 24 of Simply Crochet. There’s an error in the printed copies, on page 94. The chart for the Cosy Cushion (page 25) is missing the row of white flowers across the centre, so the chart should look like this:

Simply Crochet issue 23 Cushion Chart

This was an error in the printing, so if you have downloaded the digital edition of issue 24, this won’t affect you.

Hot Water Bottle Cover, page 27

There is a critical bit missing from Row 3 of the cuff. Row 3 should read as follows:

Row 3 Ch1 (does not count as st), dc in back loop only of each dc across, skip next st of Round 49, ss in next st of Round 49, turn.

Without skipping every alternate stitch of Round 49 you will end up with a cuff that is too big.

Yarn reviews, page 80

We’re sorry, the ball weight/meterage for Wendy Ramsdale is incorrect; it should say 50g/112 m.

Do not work Rounds 17-19 of the Leg, after Round 16, skip to Round 20.

After working Rounds 1-3, there is another round labelled Round 3, which should be Round 4.

Sun Hat p.38

We’re sorry, the maths was wrong in this first section. The first 8 rounds should be as follows, and not as printed. You should be increasing by 12 sts each round until the end of Round 6, then increase by 7 sts in Round 7 and 5 sts in Round 8. You can then continue working from Round 9 in the printed pattern.

Ch6, ss into first ch to make a ring.

Round 1 (RS) Ch3 (counts as first tr throughout), 23tr into ring, ss to top of beg ch-3. [24 sts]

Round 2 Ch3, 2tr in next tr (tr in next tr, 2tr in next tr) around, ss to top of beg ch-3. [36 sts]

Round 3 Ch3, tr in st at base of ch, ch2, skip next 2 sts, (2tr in next tr, ch2, skip next 2 sts) around, ss to top of beg ch-3. [48 sts]

Round 4 Ch3, tr in next 2 sts, 2tr in next st, (tr in next 3 sts, 2tr in next st) around, ss to top of beg ch-3. [60 sts]

Round 5 Ch3, tr in next 3 tr, 2tr in next tr, (tr in next 4 tr, 2tr in next tr) around, ss to top of beg ch-3. [72 sts]

Round 6 Ch3, tr in next 4 tr, 2tr in next tr, (tr in next 5 tr, 2tr in next tr) around, ss to top of beg ch-3. [84 sts]

Round 7 Ch3, tr in next 10 tr, 2tr in next tr, (tr in next 11 tr, 2tr in next tr) around, ss to top of beg ch-3. [91 sts]

Round 8 Ch3, tr in next 16 tr, 2tr in next tr, (tr in next 17 tr, 2tr in next tr) 4 times, tr in last tr, ss to top of beg ch-3 [96 sts]

We’ve also had a query about round 22 onwards, so we’ve checked that again. The printed pattern is correct, but this may help explain it further:

For Round 22, you are starting the round with 136 sts, and by the end of the round you should have 144 sts, an increase of 12 sts.

136 / 12 is 11 – the stitch repeat ‘uses’ 11 stitches, 2dc, skip 2, 2dc, skip 2, 2dc, skip 1, which is a total of 11.

You are still working 2 chain when you only skip 1 stitch on the last part of the repeat, effectively increasing by one stitch, so you will have 12 stitches worked over the space of 11 stitches from the previous round. This repeat occurs 12 times, giving a total of 144 sts.

Round 24 is also an increase of 12 sts, but this time, you need to increase by one stitch every 12 stitches. Each ‘cross stitch’ referred to is 2dtr, so you need to increase every 6th cross stitch, because this will total 12 sts in all. So every 6th cross stitch, between the 11th and 12th dtr that you work, you need to add an extra chain st to make the increase. So (complete 5 cross sts (10 dtr) work the 11th dtr, ch1, work the 12th dtr) repeat this 12 times.

Beach Hut doorstop, p.59

There is also a correction for the Beach Hut doorstop. After Row 46 of the Front Back, there should be an instruction to fasten off, instead of to turn.

Lacy Shawlette, p.27

The stitch count of Row 30 should be 175 sts. Row 31 should read as follows:

.If you follow the pattern as written you’ll have the correct total number of rows to achieve the required length, but there should be another bobble row written into the pattern. The corrected version is below.

In the Medium size there’s also an extra row than should have been written; again, it’s corrected below.

In the section marked ‘Cupcake Case’, you will need to work extra rows. After you split the case into two, work Rows 1 and 2 as written. Then work two rows as follows:

Next Row Ch2 (counts as htr), FPhtr in each BPhtr st from previous row, htr in each htr, working a FPhtr round the top of the beg ch-2 of the previous row, turn.

Next Row Ch2 (counts as htr), BPhtr in each FPhtr st from previous row, htr in each htr, working a BPhtr round the top of the beg ch-2 of the previous row, turn.

Work Rows 3 and 4 as written in the pattern, then repeat the two rows written out above.

Work Row 5 of the pattern and continue as written from this point.

The Notes say they’re worked from the ankle cuff down, but you start with the toe and work up.

Then the colours are in the right order: pink first (yarn C), then grey (yarn B), purple (yarn A) and back to grey (B) again.

Lacy Shawl p.74-75

Yarn quantities should read 3 skeins of each yarn, not 1.

The stitch count at the end of the Foundation row should read 117 sts.

Row 7 should be worked in Yarn A, not B as stated.

Round Cushion, p.27

The Front Piece ends up larger than the Back. To remedy this, work increase rounds on the Back in Rounds 24 and 25 as follows:

Round 24 Ch3, (2tr in next st, 16tr) around, omitting final tr on last repeat. [216 sts]

Round 25 Ch3, (2tr in next st, 26tr) around, omitting final tr on last repeat. [224 sts]

We also had a query about the ‘centre st’ – in Round 2 – it says ‘dtr (centre st)’, meaning that the double treble just worked is the centre stitch.

Berry Beauty, p.55

Before sewing the side seams of the pockets, rejoin the yarn to the end of the scarf, which will be the pocket edge once it is folded, making sure that you are working on what will be the RS of the pocket when it is folded. Ch1, and work 3 rows of dc stitches across the end of the scarf, fasten off. Repeat for the other end of the scarf and then sew the pocket seams.

Round 2 should read:

Ch1, ss in each of first 2 sts, 3htr in next st, 3dc, htr, 3tr in next st, htr, 3dc, 3htr in next st, 2ss, ch1, turn to work down other side, 1ss, 3htr in next st, 3dc, htr, 3tr in next st, htr, 3dc, 3htr in next st, 2ss, ch2, ss in back of both ch just worked, ss in beg ch-1.

Fur Stole p.36

To clarify the measurement given for the Fur Stole, when finished, the stole forms a horseshoe shape and 170cm (67in) is the circumference of the outside edge.

Amigurumi Santa, p.85

Underneath the heading ‘Beard and Face’ it should read: With White, ch13.

Snuggly Socks on p.23/24

After Round 7 of the Leg, it should read “Repeat last round a further 13 times”, not the last 3 rounds.

Woodland Family pattern on p.47-49, which was also in 101 Quick & Easy Crochet Makes.

Large hedgehog

Round 30: there will be [36 sts] at end of round, not 39 as stated

Rounds 31-34: “Continue… decreasing 6 sts evenly”, not 3 as stated

Small hedgehog

Round 8: “(4dc, 2dc in next st)”, not (2dc, 2dc…) as stated

The pattern doesn’t say when to make the facial features, but using the large hedgehog as a guide, it should be inserted after Rounds 13-16 (it’s after Rounds 23-27 of large hedgehog for copying text)

Cosy Bear Cowl

We’re sorry, there’s a correction to this pattern:

The first asterisk on Round 3 of the Integrated Scarf should be deleted so that the round reads as follows:

Round 3 (RS) 1dc in marked ch-1 sp (add marker), *ch1, skip next st, 1dc into ch-1 sp, ch1, skip next st; rep from * to marked st, do not turn. [161 sts]

And here are some further instructions and a diagram to clarify the Integrated Scarf section of this pattern:

The 73 stitches picked up run around the entire base of the hood, from one front corner to the other. You then chain 87 which bridges the ‘gap’ at the front of the hood, and it is then joined to the other front corner. When you work on those 160 sts in the round you will be extending the length of the hood at the back, and at the front, you will have a strip 87 sts long which bridges the opening at the front.

Simply Crochet issue 10 Cosy-Bear-Cowl-diagram

Rose Quartz Jumper on page 40:

The number of chains to work was missed off the beginning of the Yoke section, and the stitch count at the end of the following line should read ‘dc’ rather than ‘tr’:

Ch123 (123: 123: 130: 130), turn.

Row 1 (WS) Dc into 2nd ch from hook and each ch across, turn. [122 (122: 122: 130: 130) dc]

Cream Jumper p.35

From the section marked ‘Front’ on p.37 onwards, the WS and the RS rows as stated in the pattern are the wrong way round. Every time a WS instruction is stated it should read ‘RS’ and vice versa.

Wall Art Ideas, Hoop Doilies, p.27.

The image of the doily labelled ‘01’ at the bottom of p.27 is Doily 2.

Doily One: Light Blue, p.28.

Round 4 Ch1, *1dc, 2dc in next dc; repeat from * to end, ss to first dc. [30 sts]

If you’re making the Aqua Poncho on page 60, here’s an extra diagram that our lovely Technical Editor, Cara, has supplied to give you some help with the making up.

The dimensions of the poncho can be found in the sizing table to the right on p.60. When you’re making up the poncho, match the two corners marked ‘A’ in the diagram, and join the two edges marked with the dotted line. Don’t continue this seam all the way along the edge, to leave a hole for your head.

Simply Crochet issue 8 Aqua-Poncho diagram

Geometric Cushion, p.43. Square 1 and Square 2:

In Row 7, for both squares you should be working into the front loops only for the whole row.

Back Panel, Bottom piece:

In Row 7, apart from the 2 dc at each end of the row you will be working your dc stitches into the chain spaces of the previous row, rather than the actual chain stitch.

Garden Ideas, Jam Jar Covers, Filet Crochet Jar (3), p.25:

Rounds 6 and 7 should read as follows, where the skipped sts could be either tr or ch stitches from the previous round:

Round 6 Ch3, *ch2, skip 2 sts, 1tr into next tr; repeat from * to end of round, ss to top of beg ch-3.

Round 7 Ch3, (ch2, skip 2 sts, 1tr into next tr) twice, *3tr, (ch2, skip 2 sts, 1tr into next tr) 3 times; repeat from * to last 5 sts, 3tr, ch2, ss to top of beg ch-3.

Garden Ideas, p.25 and p.27

There is an error in the labelling of the Doily photographs. The Doily labelled ’02’ on p.25 should be ’04’, and the one labelled ’04’ on p.27 should be ’02’.

Here are the corrections for Cara Medus’ wine bottle cover featured inside issue 06. Thank you to those who spotted the mistake so we could get it corrected!

In Rows 18-22, it should not read ‘ss to top of beg ch-3’, as you are working in rows and not in the round. So….

From now on, work back and forth in rows.

Row 18 Ch3, tr2tog, 9tr, (tr2tog, 10tr) 3 times, turn. [44 sts]

Row 19 (ws) Ch3, tr2tog, 8tr, (tr2tog, 9tr) 3 times, turn. [40 sts]

Row 20 Ch3, tr2tog, 7tr, (tr2tog, 8tr) 3 times, turn. [36 sts]

Row 21 Ch3, tr2tog, 6tr, (tr2tog, 7tr) 3 times, turn. [32 sts]

Row 22 Ch3, tr2tog, 5tr, (tr2tog, 6tr) 3 times, do not turn. [28 sts]

Issue 4

We’re sorry but the length of the Tunisian crochet purse was wrong in issue 4. We stated that you should work in rows until it measures 32cm; it should be 16cm, which is 32 rows.

Hanging Basket

Yarn quantities: 3 balls of White (001)

Round 2 should read as follows

Round 2 Ch3, (2tr in next tr) around, tr in base of beg ch-3, ss to top of beg ch-3. [24 tr]

There was also a difference in the shaping of the basket. Rounds 1-4 read as they have been published (with the correction for round 2 above).

Rounds 5 – 13 as follows:

Round 5 Ch3, (2tr in next tr, 5tr) 7 times, 2tr in next tr, 4tr, ss to top of beg ch-3. [56 tr]

Round 6 Ch3, 3tr, (2tr in next tr, 8tr) twice, 2tr in next tr, 9tr, (2tr in next tr, 8tr) twice, 2tr in next tr, 5tr, ss to top of beg ch-3. [62-tr’s]

Rounds 7-10 Ch3, tr in each tr around, ss to top of beg ch-3.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Chunky Cowl, p.56

The tension and measurements information were missed off this pattern. They read as follows:

Each row of the cowl forms the length of the cowl, and the top opening is narrower than the bottom. With RS facing the bottom edge will be at the beginning of the row.

Tension: 1 complete row of 25 sts meas the length of the cowl (33cm/13in)

Finished size (with cowl seamed and lying flat): Top opening 31cm (12in), bottom opening 54cm (21in), length 33cm (13in)

And there are corrections for the following rows:

Using 12mm hook ch26.

Row 1 1dc into second ch from hook, 1dc into next 5ch, 1htr into next 8ch, 1tr into each ch to end, turn. [25 sts]

Row 2 (RS) Ch3 (counts as tr), 1tr into next 2sts, *miss 1 st, 1tr into next 3 sts, 1tr into missed st (mock cable worked); rep from * 4 more times, 1tr into last 2sts, turn.

Row 3 Ch1 (does not count as st), 1dc into next 6sts, 1htr into next 8sts, 1tr into each st to end, turn.

Rows 2 and 3 form pattern. Repeat these two rows until the bottom edge meas approx 108cm, then work row 2 once more, fasten off.

Bracelets, p.74

At the end of Round 1 it should read: Rep this round 4 more times.

Baby Blanket, p.62

At the end of Rows 1, 3, and 5, the stitch count should read

‘[9 patt rep of (7-tr shell and 7 dc), 7 dc and 2 4-tr ‘half shells’]’

The stitch pattern is a multiple of 14 1. The 10 repeats of 14 sts are accounted for in this row by 9 full repeats and 1 repeat, which provides the half shells at either end of the row.

Pearly Queen p.46

The 4.5mm hook should not appear in the ‘You Will Need’ list. The pattern is worked with a 4mm (US G/6 hook).

Little Cherub p.77

On the diagram on p.78, the arrow to indicate the sleeve measurement should show the length of the underarm seam, not the total length of the sleeve piece.

Round 4 of the Ball appears to be missing, but there isn’t actually a round missing from the pattern, and Rounds 5-8 should be renumbered Rounds 4-7.


Crochet Celebrations

We have a correction for our special edition Crochet Celebrations magazine.

On Page 94, the yarn quantities for the Lacy Shawlette should read 8 balls of Rico Creative Cotton Aran.

On p.91 of Crochet Celebrations (and Issue 19 of Simply Crochet, p.23), for the Boho Waistcoat the stitch count on Row 4 of the Back should read 11 (12: 12: 13: 13: 14) bobbles.

On p.124 the chart for the Lace and Grace filet bunting on page 68 is the wrong chart, the correct chart is below:

crochet celebrations bunting-chart

Christmas Collection Corrections

Tickled Pink Hat, p31.

In the ‘To Finish’ part of the pattern, it should read ‘dc in bl across first row to join’ rather than ‘sc’. The pattern is written in UK terminology which does not have a sc stitch (US sc stitch is the equivalent to a UK dc stitch)

Mice Decorations, p109.

On the Basic Mouse Head instructions Round 8 and rounds 11-13 are wrong. Rather than saying repeat round 2, they should just say ‘dc in each st to end’.

On the Basic Mouse body instructions Round 11 and rounds 13 are wrong. Rather than saying repeat round 2, they should just say ‘dc in each st to end’.

Bell Fairy Lights, P.91

We’re aware that people have been stuggling to find the moulds for the bell lights. Here is a link where you will find some suitable ones (these moulds are slightly taller than those stated, but will still give you the same shape) – http://www.littlecraftybugs.co.uk/craft-supplies/polystyrene-shapes/bells.html


Amigurumi Collection

We’ve just produced a special edition, the Amigurumi Collection, and there is a mistake with the Santa pattern (originally from Simply Crochet Issue 12).

Underneath the heading ‘Beard and Face’ it should read: With White, ch13.
