Book Errata

Here is the errata PDF. Please print this up and keep it with your copy of the DomiKNITrix book.

If you find any errata yourself, please email me about it. It's especially helpful if you can bring me a solution along with the problem, explained as simply as possible.

Tubular cast on

Page 47

Incorrectly states to use a needle two sizes larger than the gauge needle. A SMALLER needle is recommended for tubular cat on or the edge will loosen with wear.

Snood and Spiral Mesh Cap

Page 118

Snood AND mesh cap gauge is 16 sts over 4 inches at the picot edge.

The Snood is a looser style than the Spiral Mesh Cap (though not as loose as a beret) and I intended that they would tuck the model's long hair up inside the Snood, Renaissance style (or 40's style) So the Snood is looser at the top to allow room for the hair. How you choose to wear it is entirely up to you.

Gussets
Clarify as follows.
Note: Gussets are symmetrical for the small size, however, medium and large require separate directions each side.
Excluding widow's peak and sts on hold, count the number of rows you have knit along the side edge of the piece and place a marker at the midpoint of the rows. Mark this center st on both edges of crown.

Right Gusset

Prep row: With RS facing and picking up ONE ST FOR EVERY TWO ROWS. Otherwise sides of hat will bulge. Not cute.

Page 124

Right gusset, Large only

Add
Row 11: Turn, p19, sl last st as if to purl, pick up and p1 st, psso--20 sts.

Note, correct to say: The SEAM is created by

All sizes
Correct row numbers for large size now that row 11 has been added:

All Sizes:
Row 8 (8, 12): Turn, k14 (17, 19), sl last st as if to knit, pick up and k1, psso--15 (18, 20) sts.
Row 9 (9, 13): Turn, p14 (17, 19); sl last st as if to purl, pick up and p1, psso--15 (18, 20) sts.
Repeat rows 8-9 (8-9, 12-13) until... (continue as given in book)

Left gusset, prep row should read
Prep rows: Work rows 1-4 as for right gusset.

Left gusset, Large only

Add
Row 11: Turn, p19, sl last st as if to purl, pick up and p1 st, psso--20 sts.

Nape
The edge sts are handled differently on the Mohawk vs. Snow Devil and Devil hat. In section headed with 'All sizes' just before 'Nape'

Insert "For the Snow Devil and Devil hat", before "place sts on holder." The rest is ok to the end of paragraph.
Then add:
For Mohawk: place all sts from hold onto needle together.

Devil Hat/Snow Devil

Page 140

Clarify yarn description as follows:

for Devil hat: 120 yards from recommended yarn list
for Snow Devil 200 yards from yarn list
for contrast horns, reserve 9 yards per horn

Yarns: Karabella Aurora bulky merino, Muench Goa cotton/microfiber blend, Muench Aspen merino/microfiber blend, KnitPicks Sierra, or any bulky weight yarn which knits to gauge.

Page 142

Left horn, end of paragraph should say slip back to RIGHT needle

Page 144

Last line before Left flap should read
Rows 16-27: Rep rows 12-15 three times--55 (57, 61 sts)
Add:
Rows 28-30: Rep rows 12-14 once
Row 31: Rep row 1--55 (57, 61) sts

Measurements for this project were omitted, though they are consistent with the sizing for all projects as given on p97.

Page 157-158

Row 1: after "LLI under st just worked," PM between gusset and sleeve.

Left gusset and shoulder from row 19 had useful (info) edited out, resulting in lack of clarity.

All sizes should work each row, leaving out the specific instructions which do not apply to your size. So for example, size S will work rows 23, 25, and 27, omitting those instructions in parenthesis.

Row 19: (XS only: bind off 11 to complete gusset; all larger sizes, k11), k3, RLI, k39 (41, 43, 45, 47) [gusset 11, sleeve 43 (45, 47, 49, 51]
Row 21: (S only: bind off 11 to complete gusset, all larger sizes, KFB, k10, LLI), k3, RLI, k37 (39, 41, 43, 45, 47), LLI, k3 [gusset 13, sleeve 45 (47, 49, 51, 53)]
Row 23: (M only: bind off 13 to complete gusset; L and XL: k13 sts), k42 (44, 46, 48, 50), LLI, k3 [gusset 13, sleeve 46 (48, 50, 52, 54)]
Row 25: (L only: bind off 13 to complete gusset; XL: k13), k 48 (50, 52, 54, 56) [gusset 13, sleeve-- 46 (48, 50, 52, 54)
Row 27: (XL only: bind off 13 to complete gusset), k3, ssk, k38 (40, 42, 44, 46), LLI, k3-- 46(48, 50, 52, 54)

Hood (added 4/24/2007)

Row 57: stitch count should read 38 (39, 40, 43, 45).

Rows 59 and beyond: the pattern instructions for establishing the ribbing should read:

Work [p1, k1] three times, inc 1 st in purl, [k1, p1] three times more

Zipper bands
The sample shown in the book has bands knit with a slip stitch edge, though this is not directed in the pattern. It still looks great without it, so it's up to you. See p 66 for specifics on the slip stitch edge if you prefer it. Slip the first stitch of all RS rows for the right band (as worn) and the first st of all WS rows for the left band. I recommend knitting both bands at the same time, making it easier to keep track with only half as many rows to turn.

Big Bad Wolf Pullover

Page 164 (added 10/12/2007)

Yarn: 6 (6, 7, 7) skeins (125 yards each) of Lamb's Pride wool/mohair blend bulky yarn in color M01 Sandy Heather. 1 skein (125 yards each) of Lamb's Pride wool/mohair blend bulky yarn in color M04 Charcoal Heather

End of page 164:
Increase row: Cont in st st, inc before first marker and after last marker this row --39 (39, 41, 43) sts
Next 24 rows: [Work 5 rows plain, then work increase row] 4 times --47 (47, 49, 51) sts
Next 32 rows: [Work 3 rows plain, then work increase row] 8 times--63 (63, 65, 67) sts
Resume from "Knit 3 (5, 5, 7) rows..."

Bob Dobbs and Skull vests

Page 172

Underarm bind off
Round 6, at underarm bind off, after bind off 5 sts in patt, p1, k1, p1, should read: ssk, k66 (72, 76, 82), k2 tog, then continue as in pattern. Stitch count needs correction to 76 (82, 86, 92) for front only.

Back
Row 8: [p1, p1] should be corrected to [k1, p1] twice

Front
Row 1: after [p1, k1] twice, should read: ssp, p64 (70, 74, 80), p2 tog, [k1, p1] twice – 74 (80, 84, 90) sts

After row 2 where it says rep rows 1-2, correct to say: work as established until piece measures 4" from underarm bind off; end with a WS row [Instead of rep rows 1-2 and end with row 1 which is incorrect now that we've made the changes above.]

Notes about chart placement:
For Bob Dobbs, begin the second row of chart (the pipe) 19 rows after the ribbing. The chin will follow 6 rows later.

For Skull, begin the first row of chart (the chin) 35 rows after the ribbing.

If you wish to adapt this design for intarsia, please review the Big Bad Wolf sweater pattern for technique. Intarsia was accomplished on that design by adding a seam stitch at each side before splitting the front and back at the waist, working intarsia chart back and forth on the front, then finishing the back by working flat as well. It would be equally simple use the same technique on this vest to work intarsia if that is your preference. For the skull, use a mix of intarsia and stranded knitting, since the teeth would be very annoying to do in intarsia!

Page 190 (added 4/16/2007)

The knits and purls have been interchanged in the second column of instructions for the left side neck shaping on page 190, which applies to sizes M, L and XL only. Second column should read as follows from the top.

KNIT to last st, sl last st - 34 (36, 40 sts)
Rep last two rows ...
NEXT ROW: Sl first 2 sts, pass first st over second st to bind off 1,
