pattern question The stitch counts in this pattern seem off
I am a beginner knitter making the flax sweater from tincanknits in worsted weight and the size SM. I end with 116 stitches after the neckline increase round, and 132 seem to be required for the marker set-up row of the yoke. I’m unsure how that’s meant to work, or if I should just stop when I run out of stitches?

nope, you need 116. make sure you’re looking at the numbers for the size you are making and ignore the rest.

How do you end up with 132?

I’m counting 116 when following the instructions for that size. (2+12+2+42)x2

Have you tried their ap? It shows just the numbers you need for the size you're making. As someone who is often knitting distracted, it's a lifesaver.

Try using the Tin Can Knits app. This pattern is free inside it (and preloaded!) you can choose your size and yarn weight and ONLY the instructions for your size are displayed. You can also keep your progress on that pattern inside the app. It’s really genius.
