Knitters: I've looked everywhere for help. I looked on the original Patons Yarn site where the pattern's from. I looked for help on Ravelry where I got the pattern. I knitted "short rows" and I have stitches left over when the bag should be done.
I'm confused with the following. I'm working on circular needles and am down to the very bottom of this bag. I've been working 192 stitches all along, like 18 inches!
Next rnd: K121. Cast off 71 sts.
SHAPE BASE: Next row: (RS). K95. Sl1. K1. psso. Turn. Leave rem sts unworked.
Next row: K70. K2tog. Turn. Leave rem sts unworked.
Next row: K70. Sl1. K1. psso. Turn. Leave rem sts unworked.
Next row: K70. K2tog. Turn. Leave rem sts unworked.
Rep last 2 rows until there are 71 sts. Cast off.
(I'm thinking I should have kept going till 71 was all I had left. I worked it till I had 71 sts left not counting the unworked sts.)Sew cast off edges tog to close bottom of Bag.
I followed each exactly regarding the number of stitches. I sewed the cast off stitches together at the bottom. Problem is I have 20 sts on one side of the sewn bottom and 21 on the other side of the sewn bottom. Do you agree that what's in red is where I screwed up? I repeated those last 2 rows just 3 times.
Here's the whole pattern.
