Neck increases for sweater vest

Continuing the discussion from How to post your questions:

My pattern says to increase 1 St at every RS row using m1L on the right front and m1 R on the left front until there are a total of 12 neck increases. Is this 12 on each side or 12 total (6 per side)? Thanks so much.

Welcome!
Can you tell us the name of your pattern or give us a link to it?
