Sad but true that a lot of patterns are incorrect. Most do however post corrections on the site where you order the pattern from. If you're the first one to try it, you should do others the courtesy of passing on the corrections needed. Have you noticed the deterioration in the quality of yarns lately? It used to be any skein with a knot was sold as seconds but not now. It is very annoying to be knitting/crocheting along and suddenly find a splice.
