How-to Questions

Dear All
Please could someone help me with my pattern.

Shape raglan armholes
Cast off 5 sts at beg of next 2 rows.
85 (89: 93) sts.
[B]Next row (dec) (RS): P2, (K1, P1)
twice, K3tog, K to last 9 sts, K3tog tbl, (P1,
K1) twice, P2.
Next row: K2, (P1, K1) twice, P to last
6 sts, (K1, P1) twice, K2.[/B]
These 2 rows set the sts and raglan
armhole decreases.
Keeping sts correct and working all raglan
decreases as now set, dec 2 sts at each end
of 5th (3rd: next) and every foll 4th row to
29 sts.

I have got as far as the end of the two next rows whichset the sts and raglan armhole decreases. Do I repeat these two rows alongside decreasing 2 sts at each end of 3rd and then every following 4th row, or do I just knit them once only, and carry on in stocking stitch while decreasing

Thanks in advance for advice
Best wishes

Work them once, then continue in pattern with the decreases on the 3rd row, then the 4th row after that (7th, 11th). It’s a lot easier to read and understand when the lines aren’t so broken up -

"These 2 rows set the sts and raglan armhole decreases.
