Knitter's 44
...Great American Afghan: On p. 31, to complete your square as shown in our photo, cast on 64 sts and work center 58 sts in chart pat beginning with row 6. Thanks to Donna Magnuson. Add to the key: Knit into front and back st. Thanks to Julie Dickson. Super-Mom Special: On p. 76, for the ribs of fronts and back to match at the shoulder seams, make these changes. For Left Front, cast on 42 (48, 54) sts. After armhole shaping there are 33 (37, 42) sts. Shape neck: Next row: (WS) Bind off 7 (8, 9) sts. (Thanks to Eleanor Baker.)

...Workplace Mahogany: On p.109, under Finishing, on the Buttonband, after working seven rows of Linen st pat, beg with Row 2: Bind off loosely before working crocheted edging. (Thanks to Erica Gordon.)

...Baby Delight: On p. 47, after Row 7 it is helpful to have an additional row. Row 9: Begin as for row 7: K5, sl marker, work row 4 of Gull pat over 7 sts, sl marker, k2 (1 more than row 7), yo, k2, yo, *k4 (1 more than row 7), work row 4 of Gull pat over 7 sts, sl marker, k4, yo, k2, yo*, k8 (1 more than row 7), sl marker, row 4 of Gull pat over 7 sts, sl marker, k8 (1 more than row 7), yo, k2, yo; rep between *'s once, k2 (1 more than row 7), sl marker, row 4 of Gull pat over 7 sts, sl marker, k5 -- 97 sts. On each row after right side row (odd-numbered row) you'll have one more stitch in the places marked as (1 more row than row 7). So on row 11 you'd have k3 instead of k2.
