"Cast on 116 stitches." (12 sts per repeat times 9 repeats = 108 sts, so 8 sts left over for the edges.)

Notes:

  • I added a k1 at the end of row 19. (The original instructions were: "Nineteenth row:—Knit 2 together, make 1, knit 9,* make 1, slip 1, knit 2 together and bring the slipped stitch over, make 1, knit 9, repeat from * to end, and then begin first row." This is the row that will split the double decrease, which can be handwaved more easily in written instructions than in Stitch Maps.)
