Question
Mina
I am trying to make the cardigan on the cover of the fall 2009 issue of interweave crochet (the szechuan sweater)
here is a link to a pic of the sweater, it's the first one
http://www.interweavecrochet.com/issue/2009/materials-fall09.asp
I have tried the directions for creating a swatch of the stitch pattern to refer to over and over again but what I get looks nothing like the pattern in the closeup of the sweater. And I can't find reference to this stitch pattern anywhere online.
I am new to reading clothing patterns. thus far my projects have all been filet crochet. My understanding of the directions was to
(1)create a row of alternating sc and ch1 (skipping a chain in the previous row)
(2)then a row of half double crochet two together, chain one (skipping a chain in the previous row), single crochet, chain one (skipping a chain in the previous row) and repeat.
and repeating these two is supposed to create the stitch pattern (i think)
Is anyone else attempting this project who can give me some insight? I can't tell if I'm reading the pattern wrong or just executing it badly...
