I am knitting the seven leaves/ eight blooms size. I will update this post at these times: (1) after five repeats of Chart C {This has been done} (2) completion of Chart C {done} (3) completion of Chart D {done}. My goal is to have this done by the end of the month. I guess we’ll see!
For these counts, I include the 10 edge stitches. In the pattern, Mary White does not include the 10 edge stitches in her counts.
Here are the stitch counts, by row:
Begin with 19 stitches.
Chart A
Row 1: inc 6 for a total of 25
Row 3: inc 6 for a total of 31
Row 5: inc 6 for a total of 37
Row 7: inc 6 for a total of 43
Row 9: inc 6 for a total of 49
Row 11: inc 6 for a total of 55
Row 13: inc 6 for a total of 61
Row 15: inc 6 for a total of 67

Row 21: inc 8 for a total of 89
Row 23: inc 8 for a total of 97
Row 25: inc 8 for a total of 105
Row 27: inc 10 for a total of 115
Chart B

Row 39: inc 34 for a total of 229
Row 41: dec 12 for a total of 217
Row 43: dec 12 for a total of 205
Chart C –for this chart, I did 9 repeats. When I worked, I reset my row counter to row 44 each time I began a new repeat, so that I counted rows 45-54 nine times in total. For this reference, I wrote each pattern row number, then the stitch count for each repeat in brackets next to the row number. Each row number has nine brackets next to it, one for each repeat I did.
Row 45: inc 8 sts each time this row is done for a total of [213] [237] [261] [285] [309] [333] [357] [381] [405]
