Joker Shawl Pattern—Help Needed

Hello everyone! I'm currently crocheting the shawl  Joker and I'm having major problems with the pattern. I've already contacted the author by PM and email, but unfortunately haven't received a reply. Josefa unfortunately couldn't get anywhere either, so I'm turning to you. Right now I'm stuck on row 49. At the beginning it says 6x 1 dc-1 ch, which is clear enough. But the following back post treble crochets don't make sense like that, because the pattern would continue totally shifted. Unfortunately, the whole pattern is full of errors throughout, and the image sections don't help either. Has anyone crocheted this pattern before, or would anyone like to take a look at it (it's free)? I would be very grateful for your help!

Attached are photos for row 49; I hope you can make it out

Hello, I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with the shawl. The pattern has been online for 7 years and was part of a large international CAL, where the shawl was thoroughly tested. If you’ve found any additional errors, please feel free to let me know, and I’ll correct them.
I’m currently looking for the original shawl so I can recount the row, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
I’ll report the issue with the private messages to support.
The photos are really helping me right now so I know where to start.
Best regards, Christina from Marie and Me

Thank you very much for your reply. I just talked to a fellow crocheter who found the mistake. At the beginning (1 tr - 1 ch) x 6, the instruction to “skip one stitch after chaining” is missing. Since I didn’t skip a stitch, the whole pattern is naturally shifted.

Is there a problem with private messages, Christina?

Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll add that to the pattern as soon as possible.

I finished the shawl yesterday and washed it. It’s currently drying on the drying rack; once it’s dry, I’ll take a photo!
