I have tried "Using D, pick up 54 sts along row ends, starting at Block 7 and ending at the marker. Joining B, pick up 54 sts along row ends to end (108 sts)." However, only using 108 stitches scrunches the blocks together making block 9 shorter in width than the rest of the blanket. Block 8 has 126 stitches across; blocks 7, 5, 3, and 1 have 126 stitches across. Why wouldn't the number of stitches across block 9 be equal to 126 stitches.<br /><br />I have cast this on with 108 and 126 stitches; the 108 just doesn't look right. Can you help me with this dilemma? I really don't want to knit further until I have a solution as it will be so discouraging to have to rip out and start this block again.<br /><br />Any help would be appreciated.
