  2. On part three/garter stitch, are the instructions as written supposed to be repeated all the way across, or is the k2 supposed to be "knit across to last 2 stitches" ?

    1. bonjour Barbara, you increase 2 times at the 3 and 6 stitches each rows. after the second increase you knit.

  3. The English version has a mistake in the number of stitches to cast on. It should be 5, right - not 4?

  4. Bonjour, n'étant pas abonnée à facebook, je n'arrive pas à obtenir les explications du chale Boréal en français. Ce modèle me plait beaucoup.

    Comment puis-je faire ? D'avance un grand MERCI

  5. I have a question about the bind off...
    Once you knit one, yarn over and knit one more, do you need to put those three stitches back on the left needle before binding off two stitches?
    Thanks for your help.
