Question re counting increases

Pattern Central
1

OK, I’m almost finished with my first sweater. But am a little confused on the sleeves. The pattern says to “inc 1 st each side every 4th row 5 times, every 6th row 10 times.”

So, I’m knitting and do row 1, row 2, row 3, then I inc row 4, knit row 5, inc row 6 . . . then how do I count after that? (ie, get to row 8, which would be a 4th row, and inc and then get to row 12, which would be both a 4th row and a 6th row)???

Am I making it too complicated? Sorry if it’s a totally stupid question, but . . . any help would be appreciate.:x:

You don’t do them at the same time… Increase in the 4th row, then the 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th, [B]then[/B] start the every 6th row incs, which would be 26, 32, etc…
