What "counts verified" means

Crochet patterns state a stitch count at the end of each round, and a typo there costs real unravelling. Each pattern here is written out round by round, and every round is then checked with the same parser that powers Yarn Diary: if the stitches in a round don't add up to the count printed beside it, the pattern doesn't go up until it is put right. The check covers the arithmetic. How big yours turns out, and how it drapes, still depends on your yarn, your hook and your tension.
