Ok, I want to start working on the Corset-T from Knitty Gritty soon. The instructions say…
Neckline lace motif:
Either working off of chart or following written instructions, work lace pattern as follows:Row 1: K4, place marker (pm), (k1, YO, k3, VDD, k3, YO) rep 19 (21, 23, 25, 28, 30) times, k1, pm, k4 - 199 (219, 239, 259, 289, 309) sts. Row 2: Knit all sts, slipping markers.
Rep rows 1 & 2 of charted lace pat twice more - 6 rows total.Row 3: K4, slip marker (sm), (k1, YO, k3, VDD, k3, YO) rep 19 (21, 23, 25, 28, 30) times, k1, sm, k4. Row 4: K4, sm, purl to next marker, sm, k4
Rep rows 3 & 4 of charted lace pat until piece meas 3 (3-1/4, 3-1/2, 3-3/4, 3-3/4, 4)" / (8.3, 9, 9.6, 9.6, 10.3) cm from cast-on row, end with a WS row.
What has me puzzled is the “Rep rows 1 & 2 of charted lace pat twice more - 6 rows total…Rep rows 3 & 4 of charted lace pat until piece meas 3 (3-1/4, 3-1/2, 3-3/4, 3-3/4, 4)” / (8.3, 9, 9.6, 9.6, 10.3) cm from cast-on row" part.
Does that mean I knit 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 and then 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4…etc, until the proper length? Or do I knit 1-4 3 times and then knit 3 and 4 until I reach the right length?
