I love your Rosita sweater, it is gorgeous! The pattern book must be out of print because I can’t locate a copy. Do you by any chance have an email address for Jaeger?
Thanks,
Sue Brickey

I knit this sweater too and never could find the error so charted the design, likely slightly differently though it does look the same. I used Misti Baby alpaca lace weight as it worked beautifully. I love this design though it was challenging shaping lace. I followed the design size yet customized the whole thing using my chart, stitch pattern placement, etc. it came out beautifully and looks just like the cover pic. A beautiful design in my opinion though extremely frustrating with the error as written. I am stubborn…glad to see I’m not the only one!

Thank you for confirming and saving my sanity about this pattern. I cannot believe I am still so trusting and will patiently sit and knit and re-knit things time after time before realising that -hey, the pattern might be wrong! I was going to walk away from this one and tackle something more relaxing, but yours looks so lovely I still am mad enough to want to make it!

Hi Helen

The Birch pattern is in Rowan magazine No.34.

If you don’t want to hunt down the magazine there is a version of Birch called Kiri on the AllTangledUp blog here:-
http://www.alltangledup.com/movabletype/my_images/my_patterns/kiri.pdf

The difference is that with the original Birch your cast on hundreds of stitches and start at the long edge of the triangle and decrease as you go. With Kiri you start with a few stitches and get wider. It’s basically the same stitch pattern though.

If you’re ever trying to locate or research patterns, have you looked at http://www.ravelry.com ? It’s a free site that knitters (and crocheters) upload details of all their projects – there is an enormous amount of info there!

Hope that’s a help!

Susan

Gosh, I didn’t know the pattern had a name or it had been published before. You’re right – naughty!

And there were errors in the original too ? Unbeliveable…

I just googled Ogee and found this definition on Wikipedia…

Ogee is a shape consisting of a concave arc flowing into a convex arc, so forming an S-shaped curve with vertical ends.

i love that cover sweater too, but find it hard to knit as a long-hand pattern. The ogee stitch would be easier to work as a chart. It was rather naughty of Jaeger to republish Ogee and name it as Rossita. You would had thought that 2nd time around there would be no errors in the pattern
