When it says to knit one row even, it means to work that row in whatever pattern you had been using up to that point (in this case it looks like it will be all knit stitches) but without any increases or decreases.
Angelia is right, sorry that I said it looked like all knit stitches - I missed the part that the first row was a purl row. Listen to her, not me! :lol:
I get 8 rows when looking at this. Doesn’t the ‘work these 2 rows twice more’ refer to the 2 directions they gave just before that one? (knit w/inc and then work even (purl)), then the last direction is knit with increase? I’m a newbie also, but this confuses me!
