I am well aware that this pattern has mistakes. Please take that into account when choosing it. I no longer have access to the blog to make changes. Thank you.Be sure that all of your increases and decreases are on the same edge! One edge should never increase or decrease. If it will help, place a stitch marker on the straight edge to remind you. Also, it seems like there should be 12 sts in the last row, but it looks better if there are 11. You can compensate by sewing the first 2 sts together on the pick-up edge.
