If you increase on the next row, call it row 0, then the next increases will be on rows 8, 16, 24 etc. Do the increase by kfb if that is your preference and then on the following row, make sure that you maintain the k1,p1 pattern. So if the next pattern row is a row 1 or 4, instead of a k1 it would start with a p1. If the next row is a row 2 or 3, instead of a p1, it will now start with a k1. The row after every increase row will change the st at the beginning of the next row from k1 to p1 or vice versa.
