Please help with bow block- Got it all figured out Thanks

[NurseFrawg]

I have the book 200 Crochet Blocks for Blankets, Throws, and Afghans by Jan Eaton. I am trying desperately to make one of the blocks (99 Baby Bow). Everything is going along okay except for the fact that the pattern doesnt make much sense. Maybe I should learn how to read. I was working it and when I got to row 8 the numbers dont add up. And possibly how to count. I know you all are super crafty and many of you tweak or make your own patterns. If you have the book and maybe have figured out this pattern could you please help me so I can finish this, please. I think there is a typo but I am too unsure of my abilities to tweak it and make it work.

I have made it work.... amazing how reading the pattern slowly and calmy makes everything all better.

Thank you so much.

I'm glad you figured out - and I read that you figured it out! - before I ran all the way upstairs to grab my copy!!

Elizabeth, the last time I couldn't figure out the pattern, I've found that an ice cream break helps tremendously!!!

Thanks .... yummy ice cream ... (I'm the adult and I CAN have ice cream for dinner if I want). BTW I will update the post because I did figure it out ... cool book but the patterns are a little odd at points...

Oh, I forgot to mention, chocolate works really well, too!
