on foll 12th rows inc 1 st 4 times
Thanks!
Every 12th row, increase by 1. Repeat those 12 rows 4 times in total, so you increase by 4 stitches over 48 rows, or at least thatās how Iām interpreting it. What is it youāre making?

Thank you, that makes much more sense! I am making a childās sweater. it says st st inc what does this mean please? Thank you 
Iāve never heard of that increase, to be honest. My best guess is to do a knit based increase on the right side and a purl based increase on the wrong side, but only because I think āst stā means āstocking stitchā and some increase rows will be on the purl side.
St st will mean stocking stitch (also called stockinette)
Itās likely all the increases will fall on the knit side with it being on even number rows. I donāt think purl increases will be needed here. Thatās my guess.
@Duggee have you ever done an increase?
You could probably do kfb which is knit into the front of the stitch, then knit into the back of the same stitch. This makes 2 knits on the right needle and uses up only 1 stutch, therefore increasing by 1.
Does the pattern tell you which part of the row to increase at?
It might help to know which part of the sweater you are on.
Also look at the additional notes on the pattern, it may give you a description of st st inc at the beginning of the pattern, or at the end perhaps.
