That is the best, and clearest description of Kitchenering I have ever seen - thank you so much.

Here’s the short answer: Marina, while the front and back could be centered and individually symmetrical with an odd number of repeats, the garment as a whole would not be symmetrical with an add number of repeats. While some folks might find that acceptable, I wouldn’t, for 2 main reasons: 1) the motifs would not line up at the shoulders and 2) the armhole steeks would have different design elements on each side, robbing us of the attractive and very helpful symmetrical decreases.
Here’s the long answer: This is a great question, worthy of more discussion. I plan to cover it in my next post. Stay tuned and happy knitting! Mary Ann

I’m sorry but I don’t understand why an odd number of repeats will not be symmetrical. The placement of the pattern on the back and front will be different when you have an odd number of repeats but as far as I can see the pattern will still be centered and symmetrical.

WOW! Mary Ann, for a new blog I am really impressed! I have a new blog too and it looks it. I am still really struggling with what I want on it and how to do it.
I love your rosy vest! We must have similar tastes because right after I “found’ the web site kidsknits I purchased the Tiger Lily jacket. I haven’t started it yet, but I can’t wait to have that to wear this winter.
Thanks so much for your clear photos and instructions for remaking errors. Very helpful!

Oh, Mary Ann, it is gorgeous. I really like the roses and the colors are very nice. Looks great with the denim shirt. Here’s another added to my long list of must-dos…. :0)
