Knitting Question
Hey Knitters!
I'm having some confusion with a pattern I'm working on. It's using a circular needle with 156 stitches cast on. I do a round of purling, knitting, then purling. Then it says "work rounds 1-20 of the chart. chart is repeated 6 times in each round ... when round 20 is complete 108 stitches remain."
When it refers to repeating the chart, does that mean I repeat row 1 of the chart 6 times?
Row 1 in the chart is only 24 spaces, so repeating 6 times gives me 144 stitches instead of the 156. Think it expects me to decrease all those stitches on each side? The chart does have gradually fewer stitches on specific rows, but usually only a difference of 1 stitch each side.
Any advice? This is my first project with the circular needles and chart reading.
Cheerio!
