Hi Tenna, I can see at the bottom of chart A a little sign (actually it's printed in the first row)that I think means make two out of one,looking at Jessica's site.
Im working on the right front now and I actually started with 76 stichtes because when I looked up the cast-on method on the internet it said that on the extreme end of my row I had to pick up another stich, so by accident I ended up with 76 stitches.
Good luck,
Natasja.

Natasja, if you're talking about the upside down y with the line underneath, that's a decrease (make one out of two, or purl two together, or perhaps skpo...I don't remember what I did.

I did however find a notation, just below the 76 stitches a +1 and an arrow pointing to a position somewhere in chart A...which means increase 1, I'm sure, but I would have expected there to be an exact location, as it was handled in the back when we decreased 1. Well, perhaps it's the same place--

Anyone else have a clue?

ok, I suppose that I'll stick the increase in the middle of chart A.

I'm past the 3rd cable on the banding, and I got to thinking about those who planned to short row on the buttonband, and I wondered--

Is it possible that the garment hangs the way it does because the buttons were not placed quite right?

The way that I'm doing the fronts (at the same time), doing a short row here and there isn't going to be easily kept track of--so I thought I would knit without and hope for the best.

I am doing a selvage stitch on the edge to keep the center front "firmer".

I'm pretty sure the decrease is the same place as the increase. The patterns are different so the line up is different also.
