Default Help with berry pattern/stitch

Thank you, so much for taking the time to reply to my question.

I did have a "light bulb" moment yesterday afternoon, and set up a
test swatch, like Mary suggested. *I cast on 36 stitches just like the
chart shows for the pattern repeat, which included the pattern repeat
on the chart, plus 12 stitches for the garter stitch border on the two
fronts. *Somehow or another I lost 2 stitches, so have pulled that out
and will try again today.

This is such a great group!

thanks again...Linda D. in B.C., Canada

You probably missed a couple of YOs, a very easy thing to do.
*Garn studio has some very nice patterns, but they seem to loose something
in the translation. Having charts does make it easier to figure out what
they mean.

Yes, indeed I had missed a YO. I think I must have just purled into
the stitch instead of P1, YO, P1 into the same stitch, so lost 2
stitches.

Sunday, I set up a new sample, and have the pattern worked out...so
simple when you know how
