I have gotten questions regarding the repeat of the first pattern motif which is a diamond. The actual repeat of this motif is 6 +1, not 12 as it seems in the chart. For the small size:

100/2= 50 sts for front or back
50-1 seam st = 49 sts
Actual repeat is 6+1
49 sts/6 sts= 8 +1
Motif A repeats across the front 8 times and the last st (before the seam st) is worked like the first st of the motif, to complete that diamond.
