Soooo the pattern I’m using to knit the Braided Hearts was given to me by my mom (printed) as I’m knitting the hat as a favor. I purchased the pattern for myself and read through it and lo and behold: the abbreviations do say to slip the stitch purl wise with the yarn in back! The pattern does indeed clarify this, making the fault entirely mine. I think after being burned by slipped stitches in the past I ASSumed that this was the same thing. Turns out, I just wasn’t paying close enough attention.
It really is a very pretty hat and now that I’m slipping the stitches properly (🤦♀️) it’s quite enjoyable. If you need a quick knit, give it a try.
My gripe regarding patterns that lack clarification is still one I have, but in the case of this pattern, it was just hasty assumption and not reading carefully.
