• Reine Cardigan

  1 5 July 2012 (Version 2.0): In “Right Front” and “Left Front” sections, when specific sizes are listed to work instructions individually, the pattern originally listed the sizes as: “Sizes – (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56) only”; the sizes should instead be listed as “Sizes – (33¾, 37½, 41¼, 45, 48¾, 52½) only”.

  The “Attach Pockets” instructions in the Finishing section were accidentally omitted. The following instructions have been added: ”Position the pockets on the fronts of the cardigan, centering each pocket left to right, and aligning the bottom edge of the pocket with the bottom edge of the cardigan. Using your tapestry needle and mattress stitch, sew the sides of each pocket to the sweater. Use a running stitch to sew the bottom edge of pockets. Be careful to make sure the left and the right pockets are the same number of stitches from the center edging. Weave in all yarn ends invisibly on the WS of fabric.

  2 25 July 2012 (Version 3.0): This change effects size 48.75” only: Under “Divide for Front and Back” section on page 4, the following number in the division row has been changed: “…to waste yarn or a stitch holder for underarm, work 74 (82, 90, 98, 108, 116, 126) stitches for Back, work next 4 (6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 14) stitches and transfer them to waste yarn.

  Under the “BACK” Section on page 7, the first sentence has been updated to reflect this change as well: “Rejoin yarn to 74 (82, 90, 98, 108, 116, 126) Back stitches, ready to work a RS row.”

  3 10 January 2013 (Version 3.2): Pages 5 and 6, the LEFT FRONT and RIGHT FRONT row counts (before “Stripe Detail and Collar Shaping Row”) have been corrected to read: 28 (28, 34, 34, 40, 40, 46) rows have been worked in this section.
  Pages 5 and 6, “Repeat Collar Shaping Row” has been corrected to read “Repeat Collar Decrease Row.”

• Trilogy Cardigan

  Throughout the "Top Strip" section, everywhere the directions says "left", they should say "right", and vice versa. Since the error is consistent throughout the pattern, you can really just follow the directions to the letter, and it will still come out just fine. The strips end up being upside-down, but this doesn't effect the end result at all.
