What row to make increase stitches

Question

My pattern states the following for sleeves on the sweater I am knitting ;

Beginning with a knit row, work in Stocking stitch, increase 1 stitch at each end of first row and every following 4th row, until you have 32 sets.

Does this mean that after the first row I start counting the next row “2” then 3 and 4 or do I start counting with the next row as row 1 then 2,3 and 4. which would make the increase rows are always knitting rows.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
