      Try counting the stitches on your needle...perhaps with all of the increasing and decreasing one got missed. A quick fix would be to add either add an extra stitch in there or decrease one to balance it out. Hope that helps! :)

    Hi Jennifer,
    what a gorgeous piece! As a relative newbie, I'm wondering what the multiple would be if I was to alter the circumference, say slightly bigger. I only have 31.5" circa and can't do magic loop. Is this a project I could work longways and sew together? any help is much appreciated!
    Thanks
    Suzanne.

      Hi Suzanne!

      Thanks for your kind comment! To answer your question, the mesh stitch sequence doesn't have a multiple, just be sure you work it over an even number of stitches and you'll be fine. That way you can increase it as wide as you want! As for sewing it together, I would recommend whip stitching it together with the same yarn that you used for the project. Seaming mesh fabric can be a bit fiddly sometimes, just be sure it is seamed neatly and not too tight, as it could pucker the garment. Either increasing the circumference or sewing it would be a lovely choice. I hope that helps! Happy knitting!

    I am interested in doing this pattern, but the picture on the 2nd page doesn't look like the picture n the first page which appears to have another design in the front of the cowl, rather than being the same pattern all the way around. Could you please tell me what I am missing as I would like very much to make what is in the pattern on the first picture.
