Hello again! I'm working on the Rockall Polo by Ericka Knight and am having some trouble dividing the front for the placket. I have 115 stitches and a 9 stitch rib for the placket. If you leave the 9 then each half should have 53 stitches. In the picture you can see it calls for a 9 stitch cast on to create the button side. When I follow the steps I end up with 17 stitches just kind of floating in between side. If I stitch the one side behind the button side as stated later in the pattern it would create a huge crease down the middle which isn't in any final photo.

Help!
