Voliere yarns from Knit Picks

BABY BONNETT

Hi, I am having trouble interpreting a pattern. It is as follows:
Using 3.25 needles cast on 100 sts. Knit 3 rows garter (1st row wrong side).
Work 18 rows pattern as for Back of Coat decreasing 3 sts. evenly across last row (97)sts.
Work 11 rows rib as for Sleeves of Coat.

Now the confusing bit, COAT BACK
Knit 3 rows garter stitch (1st row wrong side).
4th row is pattern
5th row is pattern
6th row is pattern
7th row is pattern.
Repeat rows 4 - 7 incl. three times, then 4th and 5th rows once.
Then it goes on to say work in stocking stitch until work measures 18cm from beg. ending with a knit row.
Nest row P1, *P2 tog, P1 repeat.

I am not sure what row is the 18th row.

First 3 garter (as on both), then rows 4,5,6,7 x 3 to me is 15. I am not an experienced knitter and this is for my first grandchild so any help would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Anne.

Hi Anne,

It's very confusing pattern, isn't it.
You're right about the 3 garter rows plus the 4,5,6,7 x 3 is 15. There is also a repeat of row 4,5 once, so that makes it 17. Then on row 18, you can do the 3sts decrease evenly.

That's how I would do it.

Thanks so much for your question. Happy Mother's day!
