I’m working on this pattern and am having trouble with spacing the little bees. The pattern is reverse stockinette. The little bee is a p3, K1b two rows down, next row is slipping that stitch with yarn in front, next row knitting that slipped stitch, no problem with all of that. But as I add more stitches the little bees are not spaced well and sometimes will be right over the bee below. I’m guessing I need to add purl stitches to try and evenly space the bees? The instructions say as stitches are
increased, bring these new stitches into the texture pattern as you go. I am ok till I get to row 43, I can copy and paste the section where the bees start and where my trouble starts if that would help. Thank you !

You’re going to have to account for the increased sts. It’ll help to mark the center of the rightmost bee (the first bee on the row with the RS facing) in the last row that has one. Then mark the next bee over to the left. You want the bee on the current row centered between the two on a lower row.
When you have enough increased sts you may be able to place a bee to the right of the first one on a row below but that depends on the number of sts you need to increase.
Great looking cardigan which reminds me of the Beeswax Hat:
Thank you Salmonmac for the help-will do as you suggested. Also will look into the Beeswax Hat -so cute!
