I Never Learn

READ THE FREAKIN' INSTRUCTIONS!!!
or in this case, look at the damn schematic.

About a half an hour ago I was about to bind off the shoulder of Habu 47.

Then I saw it.
Instructions telling me to knit 48 rows.
Instructions telling me to decrease 4 stitches.
Instructions telling me to increase 4 stitches.
Instructions that didn't match what I had just knitted.

Sure, I did the decreases. Sure I knit 48 rows. But my row count was off and I knit 10 more rows than I needed. And INCREASES? WHAT INCREASES?

Needless to say, I've frogged back and an reknitting.
