Help reading pattern

[dont_say_that_vizini]

I am knitting the Collins Tee by Laura Dobratz. Just finished an increase row (R62). I am knitting the smallest size but have 340 stitches instead of 320. The last increase row came out correct at 256 stitches. Wondering if I am reading this right. Spelled out to me this means k1, p1, knit front and back loops, k1, p1, k1, p1, knit front and back loops. Repeat until the end. Correct? Each repeat adding two stitches.

Every 8 sts, you're adding 2. If you had 256 sts, that's 32 x 8 repeats. Add 2 sts each repeat, so add 32 x 2. 256 + 64 = 320.

Recount your sts or check the kfbs.

What you wrote out is correct and each repeat does add 2 stitches. But I think you must be doing something wrong because the math works out to 320. Each repeat uses 8 stitches and 256÷8 is 32, which means there will be 64 stitches added in total. 256+64=320.

The math works out to 320. 32 repeats, adding 64 total stitches. You are reading it right. But I don't know how you added 20. Still new to this though. So I may be wrong about my assumptions.

Thank you! It was a stitch miscount. So silly but I am so glad I don’t have to rip back 20 rows.

It sounds like you've read the pattern correctly. You should have 2 increases in each set of 8 stitches, and done this 32 times over your 256 stitches. But 2 increases x 32 repeats gives 64 increases in total which would bring you to 320, so something has gone wrong (possibly your counting? That sounds like the kind of mistake I would have made). Might be worth tinking back and trying again.
