For Row 4, remember that there is one last yarn over before the final K4, ssk. Thanks Robin for offering an alternative way to read the pattern that may seem more clear:
Row 4: K2tog, yo, *K4, yo, sl1-K2tog-psso, yo* (repeat from * to * 2 more times if working scarf over 29 stitches) K4, yo, ssk.
Keep us posted, everyone!
I'm attempting to start this scarf (after purchasing this GORGEOUS yarn in sour apple) and I'm having trouble with the numbers. It seems like I need to cast on 37 to get the pattern to work out. Does this sound right? I've been knitting about a year now but I'm pretty certain of the various increases (yo's) and decreases (k2tog's) and slipping.
thanks for all your help!

I've just checked over the numbers and they work as written, so I'm wondering where you're getting mixed up? Make sure you're not knitting a stitch when you're supposed to yo, that is usually where people get mixed up. A yarn-over is simply wrapping the yarn once around the right needle. Please let me know if this doesn't clarify the problem you're having. --Joelle
That was TOTALLY it!!! It's working out beautifully and may I add that no computer monitor can do justice to the sheeny silkiness of this yarn! OMG, it just glows, especially in sour apple. I'll try to remember to send a pic when I'm done.
thanks again,
Sarah
