Camisole pattern has typos

If you're trying the camisole pattern, watch for errors.

Last night, I cast on for the front and worked 2 rows. The count didn't work for me so I assumed I had made a mistake and frogged. This afternoon, I cast on again, and still the count didn't work! This time I studied the pattern. Bingo...there's a typo (hey, it can happen to anyone who writes patterns!)

Pattern for front reads (mistake in bold):
With RS facing, knit across 38 (41,44, 58, 54, 55, 60) sts, yo, ssk, K7, k2tog, yo, work across 38 (41,44, 48, 54, 55, 60) sts to end.

And should read
With RS facing, knit across 38 (41,44, 48, 54, 55, 60) sts, yo, ssk, K7, k2tog, yo, work across 38 (41,44, 48, 54, 55, 60) sts to end.

How'd I find it? Well, 58 plus 11 for eyelet pattern plus 48 does NOT equal 107 (the cast on for this size). When you look at the other sizes, the stitches knitted before the eyelet is equal to the stitches knitted after the eyelet...except on this size.

So, if you try the pattern and have problems, check to see if there's a typo before frogging.
