Need help understanding pattern

Hey!! Thanks for all your help on my previous pattern! I’ve now made that sweater 3x!!

I’m making a new one and am having some trouble understanding what they mean here

I did the kbf no problem, but I’m not sure what they mean by work seven rows even and past that :sweat_smile:. I’m doing the Yarnspirations Beginner’s Luck Knit Sweater

I’m so glad the last pattern worked so well. You are now our expert on that one.

Work 7 rows even means to work those rows as you have been but without any increases or decreases.
You’re to repeat the last 8 rows 4 times more, so work a increase row, then work 7 rows even and continue repeating that sequence until you have 48sts.
If you call the first inc row, row 1 then you’ll inc on rows 1,9,17,25 and 33.

You’re doing great. I like how this sweater looks on the model, relaxed and cozy, I didn’t think much of it flat, just shows how knits change on a person.
Sleeves can seem like they go on a while, they are bigger than I expect, about a third of a sweater is sleeves.
Hope you’ll share a pic of your finish sweater.

You’ve got it! This kind of direction and some variations will show up in many patterns. You are on your way. Have fun with it.
