Hello Knitters, Im knitting attached pattern and had to add a couple stitches on either side to work on a blanket. My question is: is this basically a purl stitch that is staggered from one row to the next? So the purl bump is repeated vertically every other tow?
I ask because by adding the stitches to either end Ive gotten thoroughly confused! So I figured if I just understand the logic of the bumps I’ll be okay 
The purl bumps are all created without purling. Just knit sts on the wrong side. It’s a very clever moss stitch without any purl sts.
The purl bumps on the right side are staggered every other row. If you follow the 4 row pattern on and odd number of sts, it works out beautifully. If you’re only using this pattern with no border just make sure to have an odd number of total sts.
If you’re adding a border either side, use markers to set off the border and again work an odd number of sts across the Moss Slip stitch.
Thank you 
Do you slip the stitches straight across or knit-wise?
Slip straight across. That’s called slipping purlwise. Usually you only slip knitwise if the slipped stitch is involved in a decrease.
