Got a pattern Sirdar 4708 mermaid tail that is not making sense.
3rd row * (K2tog) 3 times, (yfwd, k1) 5 times, yfrwd, (s1,k1,psso) 3 times, rep from * to end.
At this point it should not be adding any stitches to row but my calculation is that it adds 2 every 13 stitches per row of 170 stitches, It shouldn’t be adding any ?
Help and advice welcomed please
Thanks
I read it as adding 2 increases as well. Which part of the pattern are you on?
Thanks
Half way down first column
It further down after 68 rows it talks about reducing the 170 stitches to 155 so that also surgests I should not add any stitches
Yeah, that doesn’t sound right, but without knowing more it’s hard to tell what is actually going on. If you have a link it might help. I don’t see it on Ravelry unfortunately, but it might be that I put in the wrong wording.
I couldn’t find it on Ravelry either.

The row shouldn’t add any sts however.
3rd row * (K2tog) 3 times, (yfwd, k1) 5 times, yfrwd, (s1,k1,psso) 3 times, rep from * to end.
k2tog x3 decreases 3sts
(sl1, k1, psso) x3 decreases 3sts
(yfwd, k1) x5 increases 5sts
and the single yfrwd increases one more stitch.
Many thanks will give that a go
