I can get through the setup and have 11 sts on my needles.
Section One
I understand that I have to increase one on the RS rows.
I never seem to have 21 sts by the time I get to row 21.
Then I have to take the whole pattern apart.
As many times as I have restarted Section One my sts never add up. So I can never start Row 21.
How many sts do you have at the end of this section?
The pattern adds up.
Rows 1-8 4sts inc
repeat of Rows 1-8 4sts inc
repeat of Rows 1-4 2sts inc
That’s a total of 10sts increased.
Maybe it would help to place a marker in the knit fabric at the beginning of the RS row as a reminder to work the increase?
What increase are you using?
Actually I was getting tripped up on
Row:6 as I could not get it to work.
Then
Rows 7&8: Repeat Rows 3&4. [1 st inc’d]
Not understanding that Rows 7&8 are actually Rows 3&4.
Still can’t get Row 6 to end on a K1, sl 3 waif
Yes, rows 7 & 8 are repeats of rows 3 & 4.
Row 6 starts with 14sts (11 plus increases on row 1,3 and 5). Then for Row 6, k4, work 6sts of the (sl 1 wyif, k1) repeat and then you should be at the last 4sts, k1, sl 3 wyif.
Row 6 (I have 14 sts on my needles)
Then k4,
5 sl
6 k
7 sl
8 k
9 sl
10 k
1 1 sl **** ( suppose to k)
(12, 13, 14 sl)
Then k4,
5 sl
6 k
7 sl
8 k
9 sl
10 k
11 This is a knit stitch
(12, 13, 14 sl)

I’m finally at the Bind off. I do not want to mess it up.
I need help understanding the bind off instructions.
Not sure what it all means.
Especially sl 3 sts back to (LHN)??
I look forward to hearing back from from you.
Much Appreciated

Knit 2, knit 2 together in the first colour - you now have 3 stitches on the right hand needle, so slip those back onto the other needle and change colour. Knit 2, knit 2 together with the new colour, then slip those 3 stitches back onto the other needle.
Repeat until 3 stitches remain total, then lift those 2 stitches over the 1st to fasten off.
Yes, this is I-cord bind off and it creates a very neat edge.
This video uses a ssk but the k2tog-tbl is neater.
