Hello, I have started knitting my very first sweater, and am having trouble interpreting part of the pattern “chalk” by Kim Hargreaves. I am working on the main body and have come to a place where it says decreases are to take place.
I’ve attached the pattern as follows: the arrow indicates where I am having troubles deciphering.
I am confused as to decreasing at such am early state with not much knitting on the needles.
Do I continue the pattern until the desired length, or immediately start decreasing at the 3rd and 4th?
If someone could help me understand the line:
‘Continue in pattern, dec 1 st at each end of 3rd and 4 foll 8th rows, then on foll 6th row’
That would be very appreciated.
Thank you.
