Understanding a pattern

What does " Work 2 rows even" mean???

The previous instructions are:

Work in St st for 3.5 inches, ending with a WS row.
Next row: BO 12 sts, K to end.
Next row: BO 12 sts, P to end. 36 sts.
Work 2 rows even.

Stuck Again!!!

To work two rows even would be to neither increase nor decrease for two rows. You will just be knitting/purling the 36 stitches that you have left after your BOs for two rows, (in pattern which, I’m guessing, is plain ole St st).
