Row 1: k2tg, k2tg, yarn over k1, yarn over k1, yarn over k1, k2tg, k2tg, till end of row. So in this row I’ve lost 10 stitches.
Row 2: knit to end.
Row 3: knit to end.
Row 4: knit to end.

Hi Suzanne,

You actually don't loose 10 sts because the yarn over sts are the increased sts. They will make up stitches loose during the k2tog sts.

You will loose just one st for this decreasing row.

You can learn more about yarn over at; https://www.to-knit-knitting-stitches.com/yarn-over.html#gsc.tab=0

Thanks for the question!
