Need help understanding the following instruction while knitting

The pattern mentioned is as follows.

Work Row 1 of Eyelet Pattern, rep patt st 7 times across row. Work even in patt st for 5 more times.

Does it mean that i need to repeat the pattern totally 12 times. I did’nt understand what it means by 7 times across row and then work even in patt for 5 more times.

Please help

Hi & welcome to KH. Will 7 repeats finish the row? If so, then I think it means work the pattern (7repeats) and then work the same pattern row 5 times more. That’s a guess. Can you link to your pattern or tell us the name and where you found it?

Thank you so much. I appreciate your quick response.

Can you link to your pattern? I’m not at all confident that what I wrote is right, maybe because it’s out of context, the instructions seem odd. As I said, that was a guess.

You were absolutely right!! Perfect guess; thanks again
