Work 3 rows even?!

How-to Questions
1

Hi everyone! I am very new to knitting…only started 2 weeks ago. I am on project #3 already (I am really enjoying it) but came to a road block in my instructions today!!

The pattern gives me these instructions:
1st row: K20. (K2tog) 10 times. Knit to end of row. 50 sts.
2nd row: Purl.
3rd row: K4. K2tog. *K8. K2tog. Rep from * to last 4 sts. K4. 45 sts.

What does Work 3 rows even mean?

Thanks!

Project 3 in two weeks! You’re doing great!

Work 3 rows even
means to work 3 rows without any increasing or decreasing, so, continuing in the stockinette stitch, you’d purl one row, knit one row, and purl the next.
