Question about EZ's seamless hybrid

#1

I’m having problems with the saddle part of this pattern. The saddle is supposed to be 50% of the total sleeve stitches which for my sweater is 50% of 84 stitches. Therefore my saddle will be 41 stitches per side. If I use 45% of my total body stitches for my neck (114) that will leave only 16 stitches each for the front and back. Am I screwed up or will this all come out ok?

Don’t know the answer, but I think this post got lost in the shuffle so I’m bumping it up.

I saw it, but haven’t attempted it (if I even have the pattern), so didn’t figure I could be of help.
