Amigurumi counting sc wrong

[Jeanne Booth]

I started crocheting this little tomato but at the end of the round its been equaling wrong.

 

rnd 2 ch 1, sc 1 in same space as prev. sl st, [switch to cream yarn, inc in next st, switch to red, inc in next st] 3 times, switch to cream yarn, inc in next st, switch to red, sl st close round {15 sc sts}

 

when i finish the round i end up with 16 not 15. what am i doing wrong?

welcome to the ville

 

I don't know why you have 16 sts, but i really doubt if it will make a whole lot of difference if you are 1 stitch off.  the part in square brackets seems confusing to me, maybe that is the problem.

 

 If you want to have 15 sts, just rip back to the last increase you made, and take out the extra stitch.

You might be counting the first ch.1 which is not a stitch.
