HELP - Debbie Bliss Pure Silk shrug pattern

Has anyone knitted this pattern? I’m having trouble with the “Shape sides” increases. Every odd row is increased by 1 st at each end. This is a dumb question, but how do you knit the even rows with the extra 2 sts? Do you just add an extra knit st at each end? I would be grateful for any help. Thank you.

I don’t have the pattern, but looking at a picture, I think I’d work those new stitches in stockinette until I had enough for a pattern repeat.
