Help with pattern please!

I am trying to make this pattern

I am done the back and have started the right front. Could someone please clarify these directions for me?

[i]RIGHT FRONT

With larger needles, cast on 8 (9, 11, 13) sts.

Row 1 (WS) Purl.

Row 2 K 1, M1, knit to end.

Repeat these 2 rows 13 (14, 16, 17) more times, and AT SAME TIME when work measures 2½ (3, 3, 3½)inches [6.5 (7.5, 7.5, 9) cm] from beg, dec 1 st at end of next RS row then every 6th row 2 (2, 3, 3) more times for side shaping – 19 (21, 24, 27) sts. Work even until piece measures 7½ (8, 8½, 8 ¾)inches [19 (20.5, 21.5, 22) cm] from beg, end with a RS row.

Next Row Dec 1 st at neck edge every 4th row 8 (8, 10, 11) times, and AT SAME TIME inc 1 st at side edge every 4th row 3 (3, 4, 4) times – 14 (16, 18, 20) sts. Work even until piece measures same length as Back to armholes, ending with a RS row. [/i]

Ok, so i have my 3.5 inches done. RS is the knit row, correct? So on the knit row, do I decrease 1 stitch only or do I knit one m1 and decrease? I am confused, can someone please clarify this for me?? :??

Thanks

From reading the pattern over several times, it appears to me that you are increasing at the centre front, while decreasing at the side seam… both at the same time.

That makes sense to me, thanks nicole.

You are very welcome. :slight_smile:
