At the end, in the making up section, the Lower Border pick up should be worked before the neck, and not at the end.
The Knitter issue 154
Audley End
The instructions given for the textured stitch pattern are wrong, as they don’t account for the fact that the purl stitches are offset every second textured round. It should read as follows:
TEXTURE STITCH PATTERN
Rnds 1 to 3: Knit.
Rnd 4: *K3, P1; rep from * to end.
Rnds 5 to 7: Knit.
Rnd 8: K1, P1, *K3, P1; rep from * to last 2 sts, K2.

After working Chart C and before working 2 rows in yarn D, Chart B should only be repeated once, not 3 times as stated in the pattern.
Aurora
The Back moss stitch band is worked for 8cm, while the Front moss stitch band is worked for 4 cm. The Back and Front pieces are otherwise worked the same.
Also, the pattern notes state that the sleeve cuff is worked as a deep rib, but it is a short moss stitch cuff as outlined in the pattern instructions.

Guelder Rose
The pattern says to begin working Chart B from Round 1, but there’s actually a set-up round that should be worked first.
BEGIN MAIN PATTERN
Rnd 1: (Work round 1 of Chart A, K8) 2 (3:3:3:4) times, work round 1 of Chart A, P9 (4:9:9:4), work set-up rnd of Chart B over next 36 (36:36:46:46) sts, P9 (4:9:9:4), (work round 1 of Chart A, K8) 2 (3:3:3:4) times, work round 1 of Chart A, pm, K8, *work round 1 of Chart A, K8; rep from * to end of round.
Rnd 2: K22 (32:32:32:42), P9 (4:9:9:4), work round 1 of chart B, P9 (4:9:9:4), knit to end of round. (Note: This round counts as round 2 of chart A.)
The chart also shows the repeat as including the set-up round, which it shouldn’t – here is a corrected chart.
Florin
There’s a small error in the “Eyelet stitch (worked flat)” stitch pattern for this design. Row 14 should actually read:
Row 14 (WS): *P6, SSP, yo; rep from * to end.
Under Sleeves, Set Pattern and Shape Sleeve:
Rnd 14: K4, *yo, SSK, K6; rep from * to end.

The Knitter issue 135

Vaughan
The needle sizes in this pattern are incorrect – instead of 2½mm and 3mm, the correct sizes are 3½mm and 4mm.
Cartwright
When working the Front, the instructions say to keep both sets of shoulder stitches on stitch holders. This is incorrect – these should both be cast off instead. Only the centre stitches for the neckband should be left on a holder.
The Knitter issue 130
