  5. I'm either missing something with your pattern of my math is simply off. The counts at the end of each round just are not adding up properly. Can you please give me your count for rounds 19, 20, 21, and 28. I have 50 sts for round 21 and just can't figure out how to get it down to 42 sts for round 28. Please please please, someone help!!!!!!!!

  7. Hi, I'm in love with this pattern and I'm currently working on it, I am confused with rows 21 and 29. At the end of 21 I counted 50 stitches, then did 22-28 and when I got to round 29 it after doing the 28 sc and the decrease 7x it didn't meet up with the stitches marker. Please help I would love to finish it. Thank you so much!

    1. Did you work this out? I'm going to start this pattern this week. I think row 29 is missing a final set of sc to end.

  8. I am having trouble with rows 29 and 31 (head & body). After the decrease do you just sc to the stitch marker? This is a Christmas present and would like to finish this as soon as possible thank you so much.
