Hi,
I already tried some of your patterns and they are really nice.
In this one, I found a mistake I think.
In row 15, the penultimate should be (I think) k1 instead of k2.
Let me know what you think.
Kind regards,
Jolien

Hi Jolien, thanks for pointing it out. Really appreciate it. We’ve made the correction now! ❤️

I’m lost at row 13. I don’t have enough stitches. The beginning of the row takes up 11 stitches. What am I missing?

Hi Nadine, so the thing with this one is that you need a minimum of 28 stitches. Although the pattern is a repeat of 14, you have to cast at least 28 (14 * 2) to make a swatch or any of the smaller projects.
