do you k2 YO across the row
Yes
and what does ** MEAN
“repeat ** across” means to repeat everything contained within the asterisks. You can always check the Glossary (tab at top) for symbols/abbrev you don’t understand.

Yes, drop every 3rd stitch on the last row, then BO very loosely, like with a needle 2-3 sizes up. And CO with the same size needle, you need really loose edges. You can CO about 12 sts, k2 YO across the next row, work about 10 rows then do the last row, k2, drop and see how it works. The stitch you drop is the extra one you made with the YO. It works out fine, I’ve done it.
thank you for your replies
both of you have really helped
now i am going to cast on again
