I think the increase should be a kfb (knit into the front and back of one st, an increase that uses a st). I can see the pattern but not the instructions on page 77 that tell you how to increase. See what they recommend.
The instructions before and after the repeat use 19sts and there's no change in the total number of sts going from row 11 to 12 (179-19=160sts). The repeat uses 10sts if you do a kfb so you have 16 repeats for a total of 160sts. Each repeat increases in number from 10sts to 11sts so that's 1 x 16=16sts increased.
179sts + 16sts=195sts
