King Cole pattern in DK: interpretation of pattern


Please advise on the marked instructions in photo! It says: work 7 rows ending after 2 rows.

Can’t understand what it means to end after 2 rows- unless I am meant to carry on with the next instructions under new heading (Shape Raglan), thus the 3rd and 4th of the 7 rows are the 2 cast off rows? Seems doubtful. Can anyone help.

The pattern is king Cole leaflet 4746v1. Thanks

Welcome to KH!
It’s not the clearest direction, is it? The pattern wants you to work 7 rows total, 5 rows and then the last 2 rows in either color A or B depending on your size. You’ll end on a wrong side row. This is all worked before you get to the Shape Raglan instructions.
Which size are you making, first, second, third, etc?


The pattern is version from a King Cole collection:

Thanks! That’s so helpful and clear - seems obvious once you know! I’m making the third size but in fact not following the stripe pattern precisely as am using up a variety of colours. Really grateful for helping me out. I’ll try to remember to post a pic when done.
