"If you are arriving at the size measurements too early after shaping, then you have a gauge issue with the yarn you are using. Double check your gauge and be very careful to maintain it throughout the pattern."

"Thanks for all the great tips and especially about color coding the sections. Here's my question The Tree of Life Diamond sections have 30 rows each. The Baby Steps section has 4 rows, so at the end of the 30 row sections for Trees Diamonds, you end up on Row 2 of the Baby Steps section. Correct? So when starting again at Row 1 of the Repeat, what row do you start on for the Baby Steps - Row 1 or Row 3? I made a jpg out of the color coded rows - does this look right?"

"This pattern uses what is known as short row shaping, it is difficult to see the design in the beginning, but as long as you keep repeating the 4 rows in order all will be well."
