Is the pattern repeat right? If you count the number of stitches used in each repeat, take off any stitches outside repeat at either end, then divide remainder of stitches by repeat, does it give you a whole number? Does that make sense?!

Not sure I'm good enough with patterns to understand that. The bit I'm stuck on is a 4 row repeat

R1 (WS): Purl
R2: K3 (yfwd, k2, skpo, k2tog, k2, yfwd, k1) to last st, k1
R3: Purl
R4: K2 (yfwd, k2, skpo, k2tog, k2, yfwd, k1) to last 2 sts, k2

So simple and somehow I kept messing it up, which is why I thought I might be interpreting skpo wrong.

yfwd makes a stitch and skpo gets rid of a stitch, k2tog gets rid of another stitch and yfwd makes another stitch so you should end up with the same amount of stitches. Yes, it just sounds like a bit of concentration is needed. Good luck  :fc: :knit:

Sally's right, it should work out. I think you're right in saying that 100% concentration is called for. Let us know how it goes.
