Block as needed. 
Row 55 is missing. Are they just numbered incorrectly?
Hi Renee, I believe it is just numbered incorrectly but I will try to confirm. – Nicola, Editor
I see this question was asked years ago with no reply…in line 3 of the pattern, there are only 12 stitches, not 13. Please advise whether 12 or 13 is correct. 12 makes the most sense. Thanks.
Is there a mistake in row 3? In order to get 13 sc, you need to put 3 sc in the middle stitch
