Have a query on pattern on 3-6 months size. 8th row finishes with total of 61 sts. Rows 10 and 11 only applicable to size 12-18 months finishing with a total of 75 sts. Shaping instep from 1st row through 2nd and 3rd and repeating last two rows are the problem as I have tried numerous attempts at this but do not have enough sts on fror the 3-6 months size. Hope you can advise if I am not reading the pattern correctly. Thank-you.
