Yes, CO and knit 3 rows, the loops on the needle aren't a row until you knit them. Then the pattern is telling you the 4th row will be the WS row.

So what you mean is after i have Casted on, i dont count the rows, but look at the rows and count them that way?

suzeeq · 05-12-2012, 04:23 PM

Well, cast on and do a row, that's 1, knit another one and that's 2, knit the next one and that's 3. You can count as you go, or count after you knit them. Depends how long your rows are and whether you can remember which row you're on I guess... lol

Starting from the last instruction, increase 1 stitch on rows 4,8,12,16,20,24, and 28. That's 7 times more.

This is a one st decrease, a k2tog at the same edge:
"K2tog, k to end. 39 sts. cont in garter stitch, dec 1 at same edge on every foll 4th row 7 times more. 32 sts."

suzeeq · 05-13-2012, 06:07 PM

Do the dec as given in the previous row - K2TOG, k to end

Right so, next question. im doing the sleeves and it says cast on 39 sts. done that. then a couple of instructions later it says

inc 1 at each end of every 8th row 4 times. 47 sts.

how does that work out??? do i knit 8 rows 4 times and at the end of every 8th row, inc 1? but that doesnt work out to be 47 sts does it?if i do it 4 times does it not work out to be 43 sts????

Thanks.
