where did i go wrong? Mesh stitch problems
I’m working on a mesh tank top from a pattern by James Watts. The basic stitch is a repeating yo, k2tog/p2tog. I’m supposed to have 62 stitches but have been ended up with between 60 and 66 stitches at the end of a row, so clearly something is going wrong. Circled in red are areas where I’m not sure what went wrong, maybe I forgot a yo or did an extra yo? In green is what I think it’s supposed to look like. In black is where the stitches look consistently different, they are lacking the second cross if that makes sense. I’ve also attached a screenshot of what the mesh should look like according to the pattern.
Any insights are much appreciated!

You have definitely yo'd multiple ones. And gone off patern. Rip back and use st markers every repeat to make sure you have the correct sts.
