Page 30 and 31: People felt the order was wrong. Was moved in the book to not break up the story. This was intentional but people prefer it not be in its place. We agree with the assessment as well.
Page 49: Tester Nancy Elliott's name was misspelled. The spacing issue between the Gauge. DK in the sentence structure. Added ( ) around #3 Weight for consistency.
Page 53: Word sunset has the T cut off of the name. An N is cut off the word of reflection.
Page 64: Stitch key shows half-double crochet. That's not used in the pattern. To be removed.
Page 86: Stitch key should read Extended Single Crochet. It says Extend.

To Be Fixed for Third Printing
These will be fixed before the third printing.
Page 52: 19th Rnd: With A, join with sl st to next ch 2 sp. Ch 1, *3 sc in each ch 2 space around. Join. Break. Turn. 240 sc.
Page 52: Diagram. The diagram shows the red arrow pointing with the shark fin reference. The first red arrow from the going right to left is pointing to the wrong stitch on rnd 19. It should be shifted over to the left 1 more stitch.
Page 53: 24th rnd: With A, join with standing sc 1 st before the join, 1 sc in next 4 sts, 1 sc in next st going through the space between the ch 3 and n9c next post of the first shark fin to pin it back. *1 sc in next 6 sts, 1 sc going through shark fin post first and next st together. Rep from * around. 1 sc in last 2 sts. Join. 280 sc.
Page 54: 31st rnd: Written instructions and diagram don't match at the end of the round. Written instructions are right. The diagram shows a half-double crochet join which you can still do but you will still need to fasten off. Assigning Daniel to fix diagram before 3rd printing.
Page 57: Diagram on Rnd 46 doesn't show a sc in the beg corner when you finish the rnd.
Page 58: Diagram showing Rnd 47. Skipped stitch not shown. There should be a skipping of a stitch right out of the corner and before the corner.
Page 61: Rep 5th to 24th rows, 8 more times. Should be, Rep 5th to 26th rows, 8 more times.

To help you with stitch counts per side. The ch 1 spaces and slip stitches are not counted at the end of each of the instructions. So I am providing that here for your help. Stitch counts increase the ch 1 spaces and slip stitches per side.
I also put in the increase of what is going to happen in the next round so you can understand the increase when you do the repeats.
- Rnd 1 - 1 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 2 - 5 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 3 - 7 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 4 - 9 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 5 - 13 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 6 - 15 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 7 - 17 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 8 - 21 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 9 - 23 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 10 - 25 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 11 - 29 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 12 - 33 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 13 - 37 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 14 - 41 sts per side. This includes the slip stitches. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 15 - 43 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 16 - 45 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 17 - 47 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 18 - 49 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 19 - 53 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 20 - 55 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
Repeating rounds 4 - 20 sts. Then rounds 4 - 15. Then round 8 once. Then complete the final border round.
Page 73: 2nd row: Ch 1. Working in front loops only, 1 sc in each of rst first 5 (6-7) sc. *Work 1 hdc into horizontal bar created below st in the previous row (bar is below loops normally worked – see diagram). Rep from * to end of row. Turn.
Page 85: USA and Metric dimensions are incorrect. [13" x 40", 101 cm x 100 cm] [13" x 151", 33 cm x 384 cm] Fringe is not included in measurement.
Page 89: 11th rnd: Ch 2, *1 dc in next 5 sts, 2 dc in next. Rep from * around. join with sl st to beg dc. 84 sts.
Page 108: There is double writing of the same text. Measurement approx 90 ” [ 228.5 cm ] long x 20 ” [ 50.5 cm ] wide . Gauge 17 sc and 20 rows = 4 ” [10 cm]. Remove one of them.
Page 109: 7th row: Ch 1, 1 sc in same st. * 5 sc in next ch 6 5 sp. 1 sc in next sc. Rep from * across. Turn. 397 sts.
Page 109: Rows 10 and 12 have 67 puff stitches per row, not 66.
Page 117: Remove Bp Back Post from the text. I put this in as I thought it would be helpful as it's a sub-abbreviation. Dc2tog in instructions refers to a back post that should be removed.
Page 117: Dtrcl Double Treble Cluster, Yoh twice and draw up a loop in next stitch. (Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) twice 3 times. Yoh twice and draw up a loop in same stitch. (Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) twice 3 times. Yoh and draw through all 3 loops on hook.

I will add any more that we find there.

Mikey,
I believe I received 1st print and regardless of errors, I am thrilled to have it. I think its awesome and kudos for taking time out to write this!
Mikey says
I'm unsure we are capable of writing a book without errors. We have several people testing but 100 pairs of eyes versus a few of us always seems to be much better.
Selene says
Hello, I love the book! I am working on the baby blanket with love that begins on p. 67. I'm on row 14 and my stitch count matches (36 dc). But my subsequent rows end up having more stitches than indicated (p. 70). By the time I get to row 19 I end up with 57 dc instead of 53. I will continue trying to troubleshoot but I thought I'd mention it. I'm giving it as a gift. Thank you for all you do!
Mikey says
I have directed to Jeanne to see if she can problem solve this question. We will circle back.
Mikey says
Jeanne reports back that several people have completed this pattern. We are wondering if the multiple, which is more important is working out for you?
Selene says
Thank you for replying! Yes, the multiple seems to be okay. The moss stitch is working out evenly, but I have not gotten to the repeat of the chain twist yet. I guess I will keep going and see what happens! It looks great so far. I'm using the same yarn indicated in the book, and even the same colors! It will go well with the baby jungle theme of the recipient's nursery. 🙂 Thanks again!
Mikey says
I am manually re-writing the pattern now to check for sure.
Mikey says
Here's what I manually counted and wrote down in my journal.
Rnd 4 - 9 sts (+ 4 for next rnd)
Rnd 5 - 13 sts (+ 2 for next rnd)
Rnd 6 - 15 sts (+ 2 for next rnd)
Rnd 7 - 17 sts (+ 4 for next rnd)
Rnd 8 - 21 sts (+ 2 for next rnd)
Rnd 9 - 23 sts (+ 2 for next rnd)
Rnd 10 - 25 sts (+ 4 for next rnd)
Rnd 11 - 29 sts (+ 4 for next rnd)
Rnd 12 - 33 sts (+ 4 for next rnd)
Rnd 13 - 37 sts (+ 4 for next rnd)
Rnd 14 - 36 dc with 5 sl st's = 41 sts (+ 2 for next rnd)
Rnd 15 - 43 sts (+ 2 for next rnd)
Rnd 16 - 45 sts (+ 2 for next rnd)
Rnd 17 - 47 sts (+ 2 for next rnd)
Rnd 18 - 49 sts (+ 4 for next rnd)
Rnd 19 - 53 sts (+ 2 for next rnd)
Rnd 20 - 55 sts (+ 4 for next rnd)
I think maybe the lack of the the stitch counts we provided by the ch 1 sps and sl st's. The math works. I have verified that.
Selene says
OMG! You are amazing. I just figured out that I screwed up when going from the DC round to the moss stitch (1 sc, sk st, etc). I forgot to skip a few times which resulted in extra stitches. I frogged it which didn't take very long. I'm a perfectionist. 🙂
Cindy Urbat says
On pg 58, rnd 47, it seems like the diagram doesn't match the written instructions. At the corners, written says to "ch1, sk next stitch", but the diagram shows a stitch in the first then skipping the next. I'm not the greatest on reading diagrams, am I seeing it wrong?
Also, pg 117, Dtrcl, is still not correct. The first yoh's are still saying "yoh twice" on both dtrl's.
Mikey says
Page 117 needs to be updated on the third printing. The error was caught after the second printing. It will still remain that until third revision is done. I have emailed our publisher about pushing a revision for Kindle as there are too many books printed to warrant a third printing right now.
you are right about Rnd 47. It doesn't match. I will schedule a revision for that.
Mikey says
Downloadable and website is updated with your careful analysis. Thanks.
Janice Tucker says
Hi Mikey and Daniel! I absolutely love your book. I’m not sure if this is an error, or if I am misreading the pattern. But because I haven’t seen any comments about it yet I thought I should ask. On the Tidal Bay Scarf, specifically on page 61, the pattern reads “7th to 20th rows: repeat 6th row” but the chart appears to carry that part of the pattern through row 22. Also the written pattern indicates that the repeat is rows 5 - 24, while the chart says the repeat is 5 - 26. I am likely to go by the chart because I find them easier to follow, but wanted to share just in case that is not correct and impacts the material quantity.
Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves and for all the amazing patterns!
Mikey says
I will redirect to Daniel to make a judgement call on revisions. Thanks for the heads up.
