There are a few exceptions at the end of some rounds. When you work in a continuous round, sts don’t line up from one round to another. In order to correct this, special sts are added at the end of certain rounds. Please note, it’s only the last st of these rounds.
If you would like to use an all-over pattern, the repeat rounds are within the yellow box.
