Question
Mateo
Hi, Im new here and I've been dealing with a pattern for a while trying to make a sweater for my soon to come baby girl in January.
The pictures looked great so I decided to try to make it.
This is the pattern link https://www.orchidloop.com/post/mila-sweater-free-pattern
It starts like this:
Setup Row
Ch 38 (44,48,54,60) dc in 3rd ch from hook and the following 6 (7,8,9,10) sts. Create a v-st in the next st, dc in 2 (3,3,4,5) sts. Create a v-st in the next st, dc in 14 (16,18,20,22) sts. Create a v-st in the next st, dc in 2 (3,3,4,5) sts. Create a v-st in the next st, dc in the remaining 7 (8,9,10,11) sts.
Rows 2-5: Ch 2, dc in each st across creating a v-st in each ch-sp. 72 (78, 82, 88, 94) sts
I've tried so many ways to get at the end 72 stitches..... It doesent make sense for me. There is somebody else with the same problem in the comments of the pattern.
My thought is that I need to increase from 44 stitches to 72 stitches in 4 rows so that makes it 28 stitches in total divided by the rows its 7 stitches increase per row. I dont know how to get the 7 because there are 4 ch-sp where I have to add a v-st. For me it would make more sense to have an increase of 8 on each row, but 7? I dont know how to make that work...
Is this something you can help me with? If so, I would really appretiate some guidance.
Thanks!
