Sheepy Pants gusset???

[bandyr]

Eeep! I spoke too soon. So, can any SP knitters explain what she means in the gusset extension instructions? She says:

Work gusset extension:
K10 (6), turn
etc.

Does this mean, well, what could it mean? Why doesn't this make sense to me!? Parenthetical remarks in patterns always flumax me after my Odessa fiasco

I found the SP pattern in my email and took a look. I'm pretty sure that for the newborn size you K10, for all other sizes you K6 instead. Make sense? The you just turn your work and purl the backside - you are basically making a little extra flap for the crotch.

Ohhhh! That makes a lot of sense. Wonder why that wasn't made a leetle bit more explicit in the pattern. Thank you!!!!

Its actually for all sizes you knit 10 except if you are making the pants for non-cloth diapered bums then you do 6 (for all sizes). It is explained in the Note: above the pics of the two different style gussets. HTH!

[bandyr]

Oh boy. And I read that part several times through I should really stop reading my patterns after midnight! Thank you for pointing this out!

I had the same problem when I first read the pattern, too. Jorie's right, if I recall correctly (I don't have the pattern in front of me right now); the pattern gives you "low rise" options if you are making just a pair of pants rather than a soaker to go over a bulky cloth diaper.
