Please help with ribbing I'm losing my mind ;-;

Hey guys-- I’m working on this ribbing, and here’s the pattern:

Cast on 26 [29: 32: 35] sts using 33⁄4mm (UK 9 – US 5) needles.
Row 1 (rs) P0 [0: 0: 1], K2 [1: 0: 2], (P2, K2) 2 [3: 3: 3] times, P1, K2, (P2, K2) 3 [3: 4: 4] times, K1.
Row 2 K1, P2, (K2, P2) 3 [3: 4: 4] times, K1, (P2, K2) 2 [3: 3: 3] times, P2 [1: 0: 2], K0 [0: 0: 1].

I’m knitting the second size in, so for me that should be to cast on 29 stitches. I’ve counted over this more times than I can count, but both rows seem to include 30 stitches, not 29, so I’m always one stitch short! Am I doing something wrong? I feel I must be, since I’m pretty sure Paintbox Yarns proofreads their patterns pretty well… I’d appreciate any extra set of eyes on this!

Hey guys. I’m a silly billy. I realized that I was misinterpreting K2 (1:0:2) to mean k2, once, so instead of knitting one stitch I was knitting 2. That’s my issue!

Hi Jan,

Thanks so much for wanting to help out! I’ve actually already solved my issue, but here’s the link to the pattern anyways, just in case you’re curious!
