I understand the abbreviations but I don't understand the instructions...

Hello, I am stuck with this instruction could you please help me?

" shaping sides by inc 1 st at each end of next and every foll 6th row to 27 sts, then on every foll 8th row until there are 39 sts"

Does it mean that I have to increase by 1 stitch at the end of every 6th row until I have 27 stitches?
and then that I have to increase by one stitch at the end of every 8th row until I have 39sts?

I am lost....LOL
thank you for your help

Hello Mathias,

I think you're on the right track! On the next row, increase 1 st at each end and then inc on every 6th row until you have 27 sts. Then inc on each end every 8th row until you have 39 sts.

Thanks for visiting and questioning. Have a great night!

Ratcha
