Hi there. New to this site. This is where the confusion begins. I cannot understand where the 148 stitches are when I begin to pick up stitches from the row before of 100, that includes 8 increases in the row. I end with a count of 108 stitches not 148, by the way 148 stitches is the count for XL size. Here is the pattern instructions. Please help! I am so determined to understand this. Have been confused about this for a long time. I have been asking for help, but to no avail.Rows 4–9 (increase Tks): (Forward pass) Skip first vertical bar, Inc in next st, *Tks in each st to one st before next marker, Inc in next st, Tks in marked st, Inc in next st; repeat from * 2 more times, Tks in each st to last st, Inc in last st; (Return pass) Yarn over and draw through one loop, *yarn over and draw through 2 loops; repeat from * until only one loop remains on hook—140 (148, 148, 148, 156) sts (including 28 sts for each sleeve, 40 (44, 44, 44, 48) sts for front and back, not counting first st and marked sts) at the end of Row 9. Remove markers. Change to standard crochet hook or detach cable from Tunisian hook.
