Knitting Over the Edge flower - kfb?

#1

My Todder Summer Jumper pattern includes instructions for a flower embellishment from Knitting Over the Edge. It says:

CO 10 sts.
Row 1: Knit
Row 2 and all even rows: purl
Row 3: *kf&b, rep from * to end - 20 sts
Row 5: *kf&b, rep from * to end - 40 sts
[B]Row 7: *kf&b, rep from * to end - 60 sts[/B]
Row 9: *kf&b, rep from * to end - 80 sts

BO and sew flower to bodice, blah blah blah.

Row 7 throws me - kf&b across the row is going to double your stitch count, not increase it by 20, isn’t it? So how many stitches should I end up with when I finish it - 160? :??

And also - Do I BO immediately after row 9, or should I do a purl row, then BO?

:thinking:

That’s very odd. The numbers are off in the next line, too, if the kfb every stitch is correct.

Have you checked errata for the pattern?
