Need Help reading pattern

for the “Tangled Yoke Cardigan” – I have been plotting this out very carefully on index cards so that I can mark them up / check off what’s been done. In looking ahead, I’m not getting things to work out and just want to be sure I haven’t missed anything.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Cast-on 226 for the 38″ size. Check.
Set-up row. Check.
Row 1 (RS). Check.
Row 2 (WS). Check.

Repeat Rows 1 and 2 4 more times. Check. So that’s 10 rows so far

Decrease row. Check. 226 – 4 = 222 sts, 11 rows done
Looking ahead, I get confused:
I’m starting to work the next seven rows even. That will make 18 rows done
Row 19 will be a decrease row (222-4 = 218sts)
Row 27 will be a decrease row (218-4 = 214sts)
Row 33 will be a decrease row (214-4 = 210sts)
Row 39 will be a decrease row (210-4 = 206sts)

But there’s where I’m confused – the pattern at this point says “end with a WS row, 206 sts, 47 rows complete” = I’ll have the right # of sts, but the wrong # of rows… What did I miss?

Not sure where to post this to on Ravelry yet, and I haven’t gotten an invite to the knitalong. Any help is appreciated!!

  1. Hmm. I guess my first question is, does it matter how many rows there are? I haven’t started the pattern yet (just did my gauge swatch; I’ll cast on this weekend) but I don’t recall there being anything that seems terribly row-dependent. Well, except for maybe how many stitches you’ll eventually need to pick up for the button band.I will think about this some more, though. If you find an answer somewhere, do share!
