HI FROM AUSTRALIA, i have tried twice to knit your beautiful scalloped edge skirt for my granddaughter but when i have finished row 5 of the scallop edge i never have 221 stitches I have a lot less. what am I doing wrong?

when I knitted this pattern, I found myself making a lot of mistakes.
A lot of time, I forgot to k2tog, or I forgot to do yf and many times I skipped k1, p1, passover.
So, basically you can be making mistake anywhere. Or you're not making any mistake but you
forget to count the yarn forwards as stiches.
How many stitches did you have after row 5 of the pattern?
Did you count both stitches and the yf parts? or Did you only count the stitches part.
Try knitting a few scallops on row 6, and see if you'll get 13 sts on each one. If not,
can you take a close up picture and send it to me? This way I can see exactly how your
work look like. I'd love to help you finish up the skirt for your granddaughter.
