3sts

Hi,

I am still trying to knit ARIEL HALTER so it says CO 45

Row1(WS):Knit
Row2:K2tog,YO;rep fromto last st,K1
Row3:Knit
Row4:K22,YO,pm,K1,YO,K22

Now when I knit row4 all the way to K22 I am left with 19 sts so it’s less by 3 stitches, I have the right needles size but the yarn I am using is a little bit thicker. And the Guage is supposed to be 20 stitches but mine is 16 so I used smaller size needles but still not working out! Please help!

:smiley:

You may have missed doing a yo in row 2 or dropped the yo in row 3. When you finish row 2 (and row 3) you should still have 45 sts because for every k2tog there is a yo.
Take a look at the piece and see if you can see a yo between every knit st.
