For my first project that has intentional holes it hasn't gone horribly. However, I do struggle with keeping the proper number of stitches because it calls for 145, but the pattern V shapes look like their should be 12 in each, plus 6 on each end of the blanket. So, I often get myself into trouble with that. Exhibit A of that is here on the second row up, the really wonky section that looks nothing at all like a V shape! This was pretty early on in the pattern and I still hadn't quite figured out what I was doing. I could have ripped it out, but chose not to.
Later, once I had the pattern in my head better, things went quite smoothly, though, as you can see below, there were still some hiccups. On that row third from the top you can see the bottom of the V pattern is not done correctly. Once I realized why I was messing up, the 145 stitches vs. 12 per pattern section, I quit from frustration. I am sure I will get back to it here soon, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to make sense of this in my head? http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/precious-baby-blanket is the pattern that I am using. Am I just missing something that makes this more difficult than it should be?
