Hello. Here is the pattern information for last two rows as a reference before the row I am asking about:

K16, [knit 2tog tbl, k7] twice, [k7, k2tog] twice, k16
64 stiches are the needle.

Next row purl

Then pattern states:

Cont in this way, dec 4 sts as established EOR 5 times

End result will be 44 stiches on needle

I understand that continue as established means follow the previous row. I am wondering about the k16 at start and end of row. There won’t be 16 stiches at end when I do this. Can someone give me a clue on what I need to do. Thank you

Gina

What is the name of your pattern and the designer?
The decrease as established means to continue the placement and sequence of the decreases but you’re right, you won’t have the 16sts at each end. The decreases will use up stitches on one side of the decreases or the other. It depends on what the pattern looks like so the name will be helpful.

ETA: It’s not the 16 at each end as I posted above (sorry about that) but the sts between the decreases that will change. The next couple rows are likely:
K16, [knit 2tog tbl, k6] twice, [k6, k2tog] twice, k16 (60sts)
K16, [knit 2tog tbl, k5] twice, [k5, k2tog] twice, k16 (56sts)
K16 [knit 2tog tbl, k4] twice, [k4, k2tog] twice, k16 (52sts)
and so on.
