Slip the first st, p2tog, then k 3. The instructions in the () and between will be repeated until you get to the last stitch, then knit 1. If you’re doing the large size, repeat those sts 7 times, 5 times for the med, and 4 times for the small size.
Thanks for responding. So what are all the asteriks about? I guess I don’t understand the significance of stitch patterns repeats versus pattern repeats.
A stitch pattern is a number of sts repeated across a row which you will repeat a certain number of times. This pattern uses both asterisks and () to set off the sts that are repeated. A little overkill… The numbers in the () at the end of the row are the sts you end up with for the different sizes.
