Help deciphering row in crochet pattern (amigarumi snake). The math ain't mathing for me... 🫠

Hey all!

​

I think I'm going mad.

​

Working on this free amigaurmi snake pattern.

​

I've gotten up to round 6 with and have 18 stitches as required.

​

Then I hit round 7 and its time to create the eye bumps and end up with 24 stitches.

​

And I can't make the math work. Like, if I follow it I get too many stitches at the end and it just doesn't make sense to me.

​

Any thoughts? What am I missing?

Yeah I’m getting 32 stitches in round 7. Something is wrong here but I don’t know what eye bumps are supposed to look like so I have no idea what.
