"Alana" cardigan in Rowan's The Lima Collection

#1

Just starting on my first cardigan attempt and i’m not sure what some of the instructions mean.

What does is mean when it says

Dec 1 st at each end of 1st row, then on 2 foll 8th rows.

I get the first part but not the “then on 2 foll 8th rows” bit.

Thanks for any help

Dec 1 st at each end of 1st row, then on 2 foll 8th rows.

This means…

you would dec 2 stitches on row one,
knit 7 rows,
decrease row,
knit 7 rows,
decrease row.
and then on with the next direction.

Hope that helps,(hope i said that right)
