      Did any of you have a problem making this? I'm not the best knitter but I normally get by, but this just doesn't work out on 73 stitches. Any help greatly appreciated.

        Hello Elaine. I also had quite a few issues with this pattern. I did the 91sts size. I think most of my problems stemmed from me not reading the pattern correctly ( knitting the first three and then not reading that I had to knit two throughout the row) sorry that probably doesn't make sense.
        Also, when doing the rows of where the MB it appears that you have to work that out yourself before it makes sense.
        Once you have got the hang of it, it is quite easy, although to start with it is annoying.. Sorry for the waffle!
        Please get in touch again if there is a special section that I might be able to help you with.

        @Pat W: Thanks Pat I'll look at it again, I kinda understand what your saying. They are the exact two areas I'm having the problem. If I get stuck I'll shout again lol.

      Hi Pat, thanks for your response. Finally finished it yesterday (wish I had more time for knitting). Added the buttons and it looks great! Also made it slightly shorter in style and no pockets. Not perfect but it looks fabulous on, everyone loves it!

        @Pat W: I did manage to upload but went to 'create project'... not sure what I did. Only trying to upload ... bit useless. Maybe try this link? https://www.loveknitting.com/user/Zita-M/b4b8b7a4-1de5-4b5f-9ddb-e50d8a696b71
        Maybe someone can tell me where I've gone wrong :-)

        Hi. Sorry, I've only just seen your message. So glad you've figured it out. It took me a few mistakes to get the hang of it but once I did, it all fell into place. Enjoy your knitting.

      Help! I'm having problems. Trying to follow age 6 (second one in brackets). Row 19 doesn't add up to 73. Any help much appreciated!
