Hi, I am starting a sweater on the nov edition of sandra if anyone has it,

anyone know what this means? and also what does "start with 1 edge st and
sts before patt g, rep patt g, end with sts after patt g and 1 edge st.rep
rows 1-4. start patt with 1 return row, patt shows on wrong side" can
anyone help me please?

No stitch means exactly that, there is no stitch. If you look at the chart,
you are doing left and right slanting decreases before and after the blank
boxes.
Again, look at the chart. The part included in the brackets under the chart
is the pattern repeat (MS) , the stitches shown before and after these
brackets (three on each end) are partial repeats. In other words, 1 edge
stitch, work the first 3 stitches of chart, work the pattern repeat (MS/g)
until 4 stitches from the end, work 3 end stitches and 1 edge stitch. By
working in this manner you will have a complete pattern at the sides of the
sweater when sewn together. The return row (1) is simply denoting the wrong
side since usually row one is the right side.
Having knit several sweaters from Sandra, there are a couple of things you
should be aware of before you begin. Sandra is translated from German so
make sure that the size of the sweater is the actual measurement you want.
Also count the number of stitches in the cast on, sometimes the edge
stitches are not included in the number of stitches given for casting on.

The schematic gives the final measurements in centimeters. Use a tape
measure with centimeters on one side and inches on the other, or convert the
measurements given under the schematic from centimeters to inches. This
particular pattern shows 1/2 the back and 1/2 the sleeve, so you will need
to double those measurements.
Cast on the number of stitches given in the pattern instructions, I did the
math for you. Be aware that you do need to check the number of cast on
stitches with any pattern you knit from Sandra, many times the edge stitches
are NOT included in the cast on number.
