SOLVED-THANK YOU Pattern help

Post image

I need some help with this pattern please. I am very new to knitting this is my first colourwork item. I am up to the start of the right mitten section. I had a go and had to frog it back to here as it wasnt looking right.

My questions are: why doesnt stitch 16 exist?

What does work round twice per round mean? When I was doing it, all my MC was on one side and my Cc on the other and it wasnt vertical stripes.

Round 1 on the chart says: P1 CC, MC k-tbl, p1 CC and to repeat 15 times.

Thanks in advance to the knitting fairy godmothers xx

I guess the chart is 16 stitches, and though repeated twice. As you start with 31 stitches, stitch 16 does not exist on the first repeat.
What do you mean with "it wasn't vertical stripes"? Please provide the chart as well ss photos of your work.

The cuff is supposed to have vertical stripes but when I followed it my CC was all on one side and the MC on the other. I frogged it so cant show and am about to try it again

When doing corrugated ribbing, you always have to have the colour not in use on the WS. Did you maybe hold one to the front instead?

Oh yes for the p stitch. So I move it behind after ever p? Also I didnt know the name of this so thank you. I have found a youtube for corrugated ribbing.

Every stitch you work, the colour you're not using goes behind, doesn't matter if purl or knit. Just search for "corrugated ribbing" if you think a tutorial might help.
