There seems to be a mistake in this pattern. I don’t know where to go to find out. The total number or stiches ends at 144, not 145. That affects the next section

We have reviewed this pattern, and do not believe there is an error. The shawl starts with 1 stitch. A wrong side row is worked, which adds another stitch, for a total of 2. On the next row, another stitch is added, for a total of 3. Then this last row is repeated 142 more times, adding 142 more stitches, for a total of 145 stitches. We suspect the confusion arose through misreading of the word more.
