[Nfb-krafters-korner] Help me with this knitting pattern, please.

[Paulette Vickery]

I downloaded the pattern from my computer onto my Voice Sense. I got the
pattern from a link online. I turned on my punctuation and there are no
asterisks. But, since I posted the question, I made the pattern and it
turned out beautifully. I did need the yarn over at the end of the round,
because of the s2kp. The lace is bracketed on each edge by 2 rows of purl
stitches so the hat will not curl. The rest of the hat is stockinette with a
rib of 1 purl stitch every now and then. The pattern is well done. I like
the way the crown decreases. Several decreases are used, rather than just
bunching the hat with a lot of knit 2 togethers. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
While I don't have this pattern, I looked up one that is similar. It 
does not have th yo at the end, but I think you're correct to do it.
The skwp is a double decrease isn't it? the pattern works  out if it is.
Are you doing this from speech or Braille? Is there an asterisk 
somewhere in the pattern that the screenreader may not be reading?
Take care.
Deb
