Pattern Help

How-to Questions

I’m attempting to knit from a pattern for the very first time, but i’m having a hard time understanding.

Row 1: K3 P1 knit to last 4 sts P1 K3
Row 2: P3 K1 purl to last 4 sts K1 P3
Repeat these 2 rows until piece measures 16 inches ending with a wrong side row.

Have I got this right?

Knit Stitch 3, Purl 1, Continue knitting until there are only 4 stitches left and then Purl 1 and Knit 3,
then same kinda thing except reversed.

But then do I alternate these 2 rows until the piece measures 16 inches? and what does a wrong side row mean?

thanks so much for any help!!!

You’ve got it right. You’ll just keep repeating row 1, row 2 until you reach 16 inches.

Your row 1 is the “right side” of the knitting, and your row 2 in the “wrong side”. That just means that you’ll finish after knitting a row 2.

I’m not sure. If you’re doing k6, and then repeating (k3, p3) ending with k6 on the end, it looks like a multiple of 6 sts. But that doesn’t go into 93 at all, so it must be a little different. Do you have a link to the pattern, or can you write out the first row?
