I finished this up last weekend. I didn’t have enough yarn to work the picot edging, but I did have enough to work a single crochet around the armholes just to give them a neat finish. I had to undo all of the joining I had done of blocks to the body, but not the joining of blocks to blocks. When I got the last block attached I had a gap of 12 stitches between the last one and the first one. Oops. So I pulled the thread and all the blocks came off. Then I counted out intervals of 18 stitches, plus two that had 19 stitches, and marked them with locking stitch markers. I then finished joining all of the blocks to each other in a long strip (per the pattern instructions) and joined them together into a loop, being careful not to twist the loop when I joined. With the wrong sides facing each other I joined the loop of blocks to the body using the locking stitch markers. Once that was done I started joining once more. This time everything worked out.
