Moss stitch pattern

I am working in the Victoria Knit sweater


I am doing size small
I have started on the Right front
Pattern says “cast on 49”
21 rows of ribbing
Rib stitch for 17 stitches and then “work in moss stitch until the end”

My question is: after the 17 stitches I have 32 stitches left BUT moss stitch needs to be worked over an odd number of stitches!
How do I resolve this?

I would just knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches…

Reading your knitting as jeanpf suggests is a good approach. You’ll have to do that later when you get to decreases anyway.
Another possibility is to add a stitch to the moss section so that you have an odd number. You’ll have to take that extra stitch into consideration when you get to the armholes but it’s easy enough to decrease an extra stitch there.

Thank you both! I think I will go with the simple solution, I do t want to forget about the extra stitch!
