Errata for Twinkie Chan’s Books

Crochet Goodies for Fashion Foodies

Missing abbreviation: Working in “BLO” 
BLO stands for Back Loops Only. For an explanation of front loops and back loops, refer to this webpage: http://www.crochetspot.com/crochet-in-front-back-or-both-…

CUPCAKE SCARF

Page 3: 
At the top of the page, the end of Row 3, “turn” should be deleted, so the Row reads: “Row 3: (Ch 3, dc) in same st, 1 dc, (2 dc), 1 dc 5 times. (18 sts)”

Page 3: 
In the paragraph after Row 3, delete “Don’t turn to work the other side. Just rotate the piece clockwise.” Begin with “You will be working a row on the bottom straight edge of the semicircle you just made. Break off yarn, flip piece over, and rejoin at the of the ch 3 from the start of Row 3.”

Page 3: 
Row 1: 
Delete: “ch 1, sl st into second ch of the main piece.” 
Change to: “sl st into the last st of the straight edge.”

Page 4: 
The end of the last sentence in the descriptive section about Yellow cake  should read, “then skip Row 5” rather than Row 4.

Page 6: 
Cherries. Round 1 should read: 
“Ch 2. 6 sc in the second ch from hook. Sl st to first sc to join.”

GINGERBREAD MAN SCARF

Page 17: Number of Pink Smiles should be 11. Number of Eyes should be 22.

ROCKET POPSICLE SCARF

Page 23: Row 8 should read: 
“Ch 4 (this is your first tr), 1 FPtr in the second stitch from the row below. 3 BPtr, 4 FPtr, 3 BPtr, 4 FPtr, 3 BPtr, 2 FPtr (should be 21 trs, including the first ch 4). (21 sts)”

CUPCAKE HAT

Page 30: “Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until you have 42 rows” should read “Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until you have 48 rows” in order to match the reference to Row 48 in the next sentence.

Page 30: The paragraph after Row 3 at the top of the page could use some extra explanation. Note my addition in bold. 
“Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until you have 48 rows (or until the long edge reaches your desired unstretched hat circumference. At this point, your piece should look like a parallelogram with angled sides, not a straight rectangle. This angle is what creates the nice swirl effect when your hat is fully assembled. After Row 48, break off and leave 16 inches ……”

GREEN SALAD SCARF

Page 36: EGG SLICES 
“With yellow, ch 4 and join to first SC” should read “With yellow, ch 4 and join to first ch.”

BABY RADISH LARIAT SCARF

Page 43: 
In the instructions for the Regular Size leaf, go to the top right paragraph. In the 3rd to last line, change “htc” to “htr”: (this 5 htr should be directly opposite the first 5 htr.)

Same page in the leave graphic itself: 
“12 tc” should be changed to “12 tr.”

GIANT CARROT SCARF

Page 47: 
In the line: “You’ll notice that I’ll instruct you to make your increase a stitch away from the start or end of a row,” change “a stitch” to “a stitch or two” since there is an irregularity in the pattern I didn’t realize before.

STRAWBERRY FINGERLESS MITTS

Page 51: 
Round 15: delete “as before, but don’t break off.” 
Rounds 16-19: Ch 1, turn. Work 27 sc evenly all the way round. SL ST TO FIRST SC TO JOIN. Break off and finish AFTER ROUND 19.

BACON AND EGG SCARF

Page 56: FRIED EGG #2, line 4, “2 htc” should read “2 htr.”

SUSHI SCARF

Page 64: under the sushi photo, line 2, “1 htc” should read “1 htr.”

Page 65: last line, “You’ll need to sew 3 sts of rice” should read “4 sts of rice.”

PIZZA SCARF

Page 69: 
Row 165: delete that first “Ch 2, turn,” and just “Ch 1, turn” and begin making the scallops with skip 2 hdc…etc…, otherwise you’ll end up with 3 chs!

There is an extra increase motif in Rnd 6 that appears to be leftover from my version vs. the edited version. The rnd should read as follows. 
Rnd 6: Ch 2, turn. 3 hdc, {(2 hdc) in next hdc, hdc in next 4 hdc} twice, 22 hdc, {(2 hdc) in next hdc, hdc in next 4 hdc} 5 times, 22 hdc, {(2 hdc) in next hdc, hdc in next 4 hdc} twice, (2 hdc) in next hdc, hdc in next hdc, join with sl st in 1st hdc, turn -104 hdc.

Rnd 12 is missing a “hdc in next 18 hdc” right before the last “(2 hdc) in last hdc.” Here’s what the full line should read:

Rnd 12 (RS): Ch 2, hdc in next 7 hdc, {(2 hdc), hdc in next 7 hdc} 4 times, hdc in next 18 hdc, {(2 hdc), hdc in next 7 hdc} 5 times, hdc in next 18 hdc, (2 hdc) in last hdc, join with a sl st in 1st hdc, turn -126 hdc

Page 28 
Left Arm 
Row 1 should read: Hdc in 3rd ch from hook, 1 hdc each in next 5 chs, turn. – 6 hdc

Waffle Dischloth 
Page 32 
Row 2: After you work “FPdc in next 2 dc, dc in next st” 9 times, do not “dc in last dc.” It should go straight to “dc in ch-2 space.”

Cherry Pie Seat Cushion

Rnd 2 should be: “Ch 1, sc and bobble in next st 6 times, join with sl st to 1st sc. – 12 sts”

Frosted Animal Cookie Garland

Row 1: “sc in next 4 sc” should read “sc in rem 3 ch.” 
Row 3: “tsc in next 5 sc” should read “sc in next 5 sc.” 
Row 9: “sc in rem 4 ch” should read “sc in rem 3 ch.”

Page 47 
Lion 
Rows 3 & 9: line 2 of each Row, “sc in same st as 1st sl st” should read “sc in same st as 3rd sl st.” 
Row 7: “sc in rem 3 ch” should read “sc in rem 2 ch.” 
Row 10: turn at end of row, the same as previous rows.

Banana Split Throw Pillow 
Page 50 
Center Ice Cream Scoop 
Ruffle rnd: you should repeat everything in the brackets 2 times, so the pattern should read: “Ch 1, work in FLO as follows: {sl st in next 10 sts, (3 tr) in next 29 sts} 2 times. Fasten off, leaving a tail 1 yd (1m) long for sewing.

Page 51 
Assembly: Stuff the ice cream scoops before you sew them on. To clarify, you do NOT stuff the whipped cream.

Rnd 2 should read as follows: “Rnd 2: Ch 2, (2 dc) into same st as joining, (2 dc) in next 11 dc, fasten off A, join B as you sl st to 1st dc. – 24” 
Rnd 4, end of Line 1, “2 dc in next dc” should read “dc in next 2 dc.”

Rnd 4: “{(2 hdc), in next hdc” should read “{(2 hdc) in next hdc…”

Row 3: Turn at end of row.

Bubble Gum Bath Mat

Rnd 8: there’s an extra “sc in next sc” at the beginning of the rnd which makes no sense. The whole rnd should read, “{sc in next 3 sc, (2 sc) in next sc, sc in next 3 sc} 6 times. – 48 sc.”

Rnd 10: should read “{sc in next 4 sc, (2 sc) in next sc, sc in next 4 sc} 6 times. – 60 sc.”
