"What am I doing wrong? When I complete row 5 of the Ripple Stitch, I have increased the number of stiches by 35 and end with the YO Knit 1 6 times before I do the 5 for edge not the K2 3 times."

"I do love the look of the project, but with so much missing information in the pattern, it makes it kind of useless."

Japanese Garter Stitch Haramaki

"The older one gets, the easier one feels chilly - not only at the feet, but also around the "middle section“. The solution to this is a garment that is called Haramaki (腹巻, literally "belly wrap" or "bellyband") in Japanese. This one is not only a tube, but a piece of clothing that can be wrapped and adjusted around belly and hips with a strap on either side. The piece is knitted all in garter stitch and therefore quite easy to knit. It is suitable for beginners as well."

What an unusual garment. It's always interesting to see what people knit in other cultures and what they use it for. I never get cold around my middle but if I did I'd definitely give this a try.
