When increasing the sleeve the following reads:

• With Nostalgia, CO 54 sts on dpn us7
• Join rnd and place marker
• K6, p3 to end
• Repeat ribbing for 1.25"
• Change to st st (k all rows) and work until piece measures 2" from beginning
• Inc rnd: K1, kf&b, k to last 3 sts, kf&b, k2
• k2 rnds even
• Inc rnd: K2, kf&b, k to last 4 sts, kf&b, k3
• k1rndeven
• Inc rnd: k3, kfb, k to last 5 sts, kfb, k4
• Knit next round to last 3 sts, bo 3 sts, then bo first 3 sts
of next round (6 total bo)
• 60 sts total

I cannot make the increases add up to enough to bo and come up with 60 stitches.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

I have checked notes on Raverly and there are no corrections or notations to this.
 
I am wondering if the notation of 60 stitches should be the stitch count before you bind off the 6 stitches. Did you check for any etcra notes on the pattern. If it is a Ravelry pattern you might check for any notes to see if others figured out the error. If all fails try to contact the designer for help.

Thank you, that's a thought. 60 is the stitch count before the bind off.
 
I agree that the count is off or in the wrong place in the pattern or even just badly worded. If the sleeve fits as desired with 60 sts before the bind off, just do the bind off and don't sweat it. If I read the pattern correctly you'll be working the raglan decreases after joining the sleeves to the body of the sweater so all would be fine. I did see one comment about stitch counts being a problem.
