Heart Lace - Row 38 Walk Through

The pattern to my Heart Lace Cloth is correct. I know many people have successfully knitted the cloth, while others have had difficulties with stitch count on row 38. Here's something that may help.

Let's walk through row 38 together ... instruction by instruction, while keeping track of how many stitches are worked from the left needle and how many stitches end up on the right needle. I'm going to assume you cast on for the wider 39 stitch cloth. (See below for 37 stitches)

Begin my counting your stitches and confirming that you do indeed have 39 stitches on your needle. :-)

Row 38: B3, K5(4), M1, YO, SSK, YO, D4, YO, K2Tog, YO, M1, K1, M1, YO, SSK, YO, D4, YO, K2Tog, YO, M1, K5(4), B3

B3 -- worked on 3 sts from left needle, results in 3 sts on right needle (3 sts worked from left needle so far; 3 sts on right needle so far)
K5 -- worked on 5 sts, results in 5 sts (8 sts worked from left needle; 8 sts on right needle)

Here's a visual walk through of doing D4. You may want to take a lookie to verify that you are doing it correctly... :-)
