Hi Heidi,

It does look confusing! I will rewrite the pattern to make it look less confusing;

1st row: K4, *(p2, k2) 5 times, k3; repeat from * 6 times and then *(p2,k2)5 times, k the last 4 sts.

As you can see here, you keep repeating the same 23 stitch-pattern of (p2k2)5 times, k3 throughout the row but instead of ending with 3 sts, you end with 4 sts. This will match the 4 sts at the beginning.

Here is a better breakdown version for you;

1st Row:

Knit 4 stitches. (4sts)

Repeat the following sequence six times:

(P2, K2) × 5, k3. (138sts)


After completing the six repeats, do the following:

(P2, K2) × 5, k4. (24sts)

They should add up to 166 sts.

Happy Knitting!
Ratcha
