V neck Cardigan Sweater

[vandel]

I am knitting a V Neck Cardigan Sweater and I am having a difficult time wiht the Front. This patterncalls for the pattern stich and working 1st and last stich of every row in St st. I am having a problem at Neck shapping. it states to keep on pattern, at neck edge, dec 1 st every 4th row 6 times, then every 6th row 8. Now I tried to dec the 1st but my pattern is not coming out right. My pattern has 12 rows to create the pattern stich. The fourth row the patterns is P1, *(p1, k1) twice, p3, k1, p1, k1, p2; rep from*
the fifth row is k1, *k2, (p1, k1) 3 times, p1, k3; rep from* When I start row 5 where should I start because of decreasing on row 4 ... remember this pattern calls for 1st and last stich of every row in St.st. this pattern is Multiple of 12 +1 and I am making King Charles Bracade V-Neck Cardigan Sweater Knitting Pattern.

Is this by any chance your pattern? If not, could you link to it?
I'm inclined to say you'd start with a knit stitch, but I'm not sure that is what you're asking.

Here is the Pattern I am having problems matching when I start decreasing. On row 4 I decrease the first stich, now should I start from P1 or from *(P1, K1) twice. and Row 5 should I start knitting for *k2? that is what I am so comfused... don't know where to start after I decrease a stich.

Oops! It looks like I forgot to include the link! V-Neck Cardigan Sweater Knitting Pattern I think it's the same.

You asked When I start row 5 where should I start because of decreasing on row 4 ... Row 5: k1, *k2, (p1, k1) 3 times, p1, k3; rep from *
I'm not at all sure what you need to know, hopefully someone else will and can help you out.
