Hi Mamas,
I need some help please. I am a newish knitter and am attempting the Picky Pants pattern for the first time. I was so darn proud of myself because I just finished the short rows section. I intended to do Option 2, just short rows and thought I'd followed the instructions. But when I started the gusset section I realized there are 100 stitches on my needles rather than 92 (for the toddler size). I have no idea how I did that.
It looks like I could continue with the second option in the gusset section but I'm afraid this will make the pants too big. My baby is about 27 pounds and I debated doing the large or toddler size in the first place. What should I do? Pull out the short rows section and start over? Or continue on with the extra stitches?
Any ideas how I ended up with extra stitches?
Thanks much.

) so I think I'll continue with 100 stitches.
