I love this cap! For some reason I cannot get the pattern to work for me, when I start the basket weave. I wind up with an extra stitch in the back. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I am careful and I do count the stitches but the 48 stitches for the medium does not work for me. HELP! Thanks, Mary

My guess is you are working into a joining stitch. Be sure when you slip stitch you pull the slip stitch so tight it nearly disappears. That way you won't work into or around it.
