Hey AmandaPanda,
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on tackling such a project! A sweater is difficult enough, but a cable stitch? Girl, you got GUTS! (I hope you did a gauge guide before you started!)
It's frustrating when patterns are printed with typos. It bugs the hell out of me! I subscribe to several knitting magazines, and Vogue Knitting is one of them. They're always publishing "corrections" in subsequent issues, and you have to keep up with them, find the past issues and mark them accordingly. Pain in the A$$!
Your pattern appears to have a typo problem. Yes, most definitely, "purpl" is a typo and should be "purl." I'm surprised that the knit shop helped you; usually, if you didn't buy the yarn from them, they show you the door. And they gave you the right advice; the left side has to match the right, so you would follow the advice for the opposite side, but just reverse the order of stitches on that given row. In other words, the instructions for the 4th row of the left front say, "Row 4: (P1, K1) 3 times; P1 YO (counts as one st), P1, K1, purl rem sts." You would just reverse them.
You say that the problem concerns those last 10 stiches, but when I counted them, there were ten, if you include the YO. You see, the pattern is to decrease a stitch in row 3, then increase it back in row 4, so that you should end up with the same number of stitches.
You with me?
Row 3, you decrease that one stitch ("PSSO"), then when you get to that point in Row 4, you increase that stitch back by the "YO."
Count backwards on that Row 4. You have the "(K1, P1) 3 times," which is 6 stitches, okay? Then you have the "P1" which makes 7, then the "YO," which makes 8," and the remaining "K1, P1" which makes 10.
I hope this helps. If not, just scream.
