Hi. please bear with me. I am a beginner knitter. Thank you in advance for your help and tolerance for my lack of knitting acumen.
Trying to follow a pattern for booties. Here is the link for what it’s supposed to look like.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1580866390/premature-baby-knitting-pattern-early?ref=yr_purchases
Following are the first two rows :
Cast on 64 sts.
1st row: k3, cast off 4 sts, k4, cast off 4 sts, repeat from * to last 2 sts, k2.
36 sts.
I can’t for the life of me figure out after knitting first 3 sts from left needle to right needle, am I supposed to cast off next 4 sts on the left needle? If yes, how do I do that ? Do I knit the 4th and 5th sts to the right needle, then
Bind off the 4th in right needle?
Or am I supposed to cast off the 3 sts from the right needle? If so, how do I do that? Do I knit the 4th st from left needle onto right needle and then bind off the 3rd st?
Sorry but I am thoroughly confused.
Tried to do this multiple ways, but it looks nothing like the picot edge it is supposed to look like.
Not sure what I am missing. I have knit the picot edge before, but it was a different pattern and the instructions were very different from these one above.
Please help me understand this.
Thank you all.
