I’m in the finishing stages of making this hooded sweater for my daughter, but the one for the “FRONT BANDS” hasme stumped and confused. Please, please, please someone help. Thank you

You start with the 5 held stitches from the front piece and knit a long, narrow band that will then be slip stitched to the front. Does that help?
Somewhat, do I connect the strip up the side as I’m knitting or does it get knitted to the bottom 5 sts into that and seamed on later? Uh what is “row 2 row”?
It looks like the reference to row 2 is for the colors in the stripe pattern. I can’t determine whether you should finish on a RS or WS row. You don’t attach the band as it’s knitted.
Slip st band into place.
I agree, the band starts at the bottom garter stitch trim, then is seamed to the front when finishing Under the directions for Front Bands, it says to " Slip st band into place"…
The “Row 2 row” refers to the garter color pattern which should end on a WS row (knit a row 2):
Row 1 [RS]: K with MC.
Row 2 [WS]: K with MC.
Row 3 [RS]: K with CC.
Row 4 [WS]: K with CC.
Thank you both so much
