Hi everyone!
I am new to knitting, can anyone help me understand this part of a pattern:
Cont in rib until sleeve meas 9 cm, inc [-: dec: -: -: dec: dec: inc: inc] 2 [0: 2: 0: 0: 2: 2: 2: 2] sts evenly across last row and ending with RS facing for next row. 44 [46: 48: 50: 50: 52: 52: 56: 56] sts.
I am following the 3rd sizing, which I think means the second instruction within the brackets (is this correct?).
The first instruction says to cast on 42 [46: 50: 50: 50: 54: 54: 54: 54] sts.
My understanding is that I will be going from 50 stitches to 48 stitches, does the instruction mean I just knit two together at the beginning and end of the last row, meaning I loose 2 stitches?
Thanks
