Have you ever noticed that you can ignore one little element of a knitting pattern to your peril? For example, when you are working a pattern that is all in garter stitch and knit in one basically connected way and they say 'mark the front'. I suggest you do it. I am working along happily on this darling baby sweater. I finish the right front and right sleeve front, the back, right and left sleeve back. I am about to enter the home stretch and finish the left sleeve front when it hits me that this folding origami cannot possible be stitch together in any way, shape or form that will make an actual sweater that any humanoid can wear. Drat! That marking the front was important. As, I spent some time frogging it (and saying some words worse than drat), I contemplated the place of hubris in our lives. Pride and cockiness will get you every time. Fortunately, I am back on track. I only had to remove the right front sleeve to the start of it and then cast it on where it was meant to be. So, my friends, pay attention to the details!
