Expanded Instructions

Front edging and collar, Short-rows:

There is no error in the directions for the short-rows as published. Some readers have indicated that they would prefer to know how many stitches should be worked for each short-row, instead of how many stitches to leave unworked at the end of the row. Here are expanded directions that provide the information both ways:

…246 (258, 270, 282, 294) sts total. Next row: P2, *k2, p2; rep from *. Cont in short-rows as foll:

Short-rows 1 and 2: Work in established rib until 107 (112, 117, 122, 127) sts remain unworked, turn. The row just described is worked twice. Short-row 1 is a RS row, and Short-Row 2 is a WS row. Another way to express this is: Work in established rib for 139 (146, 153, 160, 167) sts, turn, work in rib for 32 (34, 36, 38, 40) sts, turn—107 (112, 117, 122, 127) sts remain unworked at each end of needle when both rows have been completed.
