I just completely ditched a top down sweater I had started that has a series of YO’s included because for the life of me, I could not properly keep the correct number of stitches in each stitch marked section of the work. I was working with two circular needles (instead of the magic loop called for in the pattern) and I kept ending up with an incorrect stitch count. This, of course, ruined the intended pretty pattern.
I have put that pattern away in disgust and am starting another called the Fibonacci top by knithagoras. this pattern calls for a two round repeat that also includes YO’s and I am wondering if there aren’t some tips on how to properly count and keep track of things so I don’t run into a similar problem. I have included a portion of the pattern here for context. Any thoughts are welcome.
