Blue Diamond Lace Scarf Errata
Hello my fellow knitters,
As you know, I designed a beautiful scarf for my friend, Carol Sulcoski’s book, Lace Yarn Studio. The scarf was named the Blue Diamond Lace Scarf and I am sorry to say that there is a little bit of errata for the pattern.

The mistake is when you transition from the first lace bit to the second lace. If you do as written you will not have the right number of stitches. The pattern should read:
Transition Chart (multiple of 12 sts plus 1, minimum 25 sts)
Row 1 (RS): K2tog, k3, yo, k1, yo, ssk, * yo, k3, s2psso, k3, yo, k2tog, yo, k1; rep from * to last 5 sts, yo, k3, ssk.
Row 2 and all even-numbered rows: Purl.
Row 3: K2tog, k2, yo, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, * ssk, yo, k2, s2psso, k2, yo, k2tog, yo, k1, yo; rep from * to last 6 sts, ssk, yo, k2, ssk.
Row 5: K2tog, k1, yo, k2tog, yo, k3, * yo, ssk, yo, k1, s2psso, k1, yo, k2tog, yo, k3; rep from * to last 5 sts, yo, ssk, yo, k1, ssk.
Row 7: [K2tog, yo] twice, k5, * yo, ssk, yo, s2psso, yo, k2tog, yo, k5; rep from * to last 4 sts, [yo, ssk] twice.
Row 9: K1, * k2tog, yo, k7, yo, ssk, k1; rep from * to end.
Row 10: Purl.
I’m am also including a new chart to help those who are more visual (like me)
Anyway, I am so sorry for the mistake and I hope that if you are making this pattern you will share with me your progress.
Cheers!

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the deal with the Blue Diamond Lace Scarf pattern?
So here’s the thing… there was a little mix-up when transitioning from the first lace section to the second in the Blue Diamond Lace Scarf pattern. If you follow the original instructions exactly, you won’t end up with the correct number of stitches.
How do I fix the stitch count issue?
Honestly… the best way to fix it is to use the corrected “Transition Chart” that I’ve included on the page. It breaks down each row with the right stitch counts to get you back on track.
Is there a visual aid for the correction?
Yes! I know how helpful charts can be, so I’ve also included a new chart that visually shows the corrected transition. It’s super helpful if you’re a visual learner like me!
Where did this pattern mistake happen?
The mistake is specifically in the transition section between the first lace part and the second lace part of the scarf. That’s the tricky bit that needed a little adjustment.
Can I see the corrected pattern instructions?
Absolutely! The page lays out the corrected “Transition Chart” with all the rows, including Row 1, Row 2 and all even-numbered rows, Row 3, Row 5, Row 7, Row 9, and Row 10. Just follow those details carefully!

Thank you for this errata- I am knitting this scarf for my daughter for Christmas – having bought the book and buffalo wool at the Maryland sheep and wool show in May . As I am now back in the uk I was at a loss when the pattern didn’t work! I have now finished the transition and it looks good.
