Before you dive into your knitting journey, please note the following important errata to ensure your project turns out beautifully:
Errata 1.1: For the gusset section, please adjust your instructions to read until there are 16 sts, instead of 14. This small correction will help you achieve the proper fit.
Errata 1.2: When working on the Toe ribbing, pay close attention to Round 3, ndl 3. For better symmetry, you should knit in the following sequence: p1, k2, p2 to the last 6 sts, k2, p1, k2tog, k1. This adjustment will enhance the overall appearance of your project.
Additionally, for Round 11 on ndl 2, the correct sequence is: k1, skp, p1, k2, p2, k2, p1. This minor change ensures a smooth flow in your pattern.
Finally, in Round 16 on ndl 2, remember to continue knitting the stitches from ndl 4 onto ndl 1. It’s important to note that ndl 2 already contains the stitches from needles 2 and 3, so make sure to keep track of your stitches for a cohesive finish.
With these clarifications, you’re all set to knit this elegant lace and cable pattern flawlessly. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this top-down pattern offers a satisfying and stylish project that you’ll be proud to showcase. Get your yarn ready, and happy knitting!
