Hi, I am new to this group, have recently taken up knitting again as
our first grandchild is on the way. Could someone help with
interpreting these instructions for sleeves of a babies cardigan.
After kitting the cuff the instructions state:"Inc. 1 st at each end
of 3rd (next,next,next,next,next) and every following 4th
(alt.,alt.,alt.,alt.,alt.) row ........"
Does it mean that you inc. 1st at each end of the 3rd row and then
every row for the next 5 rows, than after that inc. 1st at each end on
the next fourth row and then each alt. row five times???
Thank you very much!

It sounds to me as though your pattern has a bunch of different sizes
in it, and each increase instruction is for a different size. For
example,
the smallest size would be "Inc 1 st at each end of the 3rd row and
every following 4th row." THe other sizes would be "Inc 1 st at each
end of the next row and every following alt row". HTH
Higs,

Katherine,
Of course, silly me trying to be too complicated! Yes the pattern does
have several sizes. Thank you very much for your time.

Muff , If the pattern is yours and it has several sizes , it would be
helpful to color mark YOUR working size , in one color ,,,, otherwise
strange sizes might meet ,,,

Mirjam,
Good point. I had been following a complicated pattern for the fronts
and then went onto the sleeves expecting things to remain complicated,
forgot the sizes. Thanks for the tip!
