    Corrections to pattern are needed

    I've changed my review to 1 star. Red Heart please correct the following: After binding off the left front and going to the back, there is a serious typo. First using the Size 8. You are left with 80 stitches on holder not 76. After decreasing 1 stich on each end for 3 rows you are left with 74 stitches. The pattern not only has the wrong stitch count you have the remaining stitches increasing instead of decreasing and the numbers are wrong anyway. Please correct.

    • Thank you for sharing your experience with this pattern. We have checked all the numbers of the stitches for all sizes, and the numbers all all correct. Please remember that 9 stitches were placed on a holder at the beginning and end of the row for the front bands. These stitches along with decreasing the stitch counts for the k2tog decrease will account for all of the stitches. The numbers increase to include the decreased stitches on the edges with the pattern stitches to show the total number of stitches on the needle as you begin the section. Looking at the size 8 in particular. When you finish the left front, you should have 118 stitches on your needles. You will consume 4 stitches on the decrease, and work across 74 stitches of the cable pattern, leaving 76 stitches to begin this section. This will leave you with 40 stitches for the left side. Nine stitches will be used on the front band, three are decreased leaving 28 stitches for the right side. We are here to answer specific questions while you are knitting, and invite you to reach out to us at inquire@yarnspirations.mom

    Buttonhole confusion

    I am in the beginning of the pattern. I am doing the large. Be aware the instructions for the buttonholes are confusing. It should have been written after Row 5 knit an ADDITIONAL 15 rows and repeat buttonhole row. So the next buttonhole is row 21 and then 37 and finally row 53.
