Hi Deja. I purchased your squishy blanket pattern, and I have a question. According to the pattern, you K1B on both the right and wrong sides. In the pattern key, it says to K1B on the right side, and to P1B on the wrong side. However, you don’t provide an explanation of how to P1B. Was that just a typo? Please respond. Thank you. PS: Love your patterns!
Deja Joy
Hi there, you are correct! That was a typo, please disregard that P1B. So sorry about that!

The newsletter stated that this was a shawl. Is there a pattern for a Meadow Shawl? I like the stitches in this, but I don’t make cowls. (They make me uncomfortable, so I always think they might bother people that I would give as a gift, too!)
Deja Joy
I’m so sorry! I accidentally typed shawl instead of cowl (I updated it). I don’t have a shawl pattern in this stitch pattern, but I will keep it in mind for a future free pattern workshop! So sorry again!!
