Help with Sweater patter

[needles62]

I am making a Norwegian Sweater for the first time. The pattern states Work Pattern 1 the main patter. AT THE SAME TIME, beg inc 1 st at the beg and end of every fourth nd 30 times...woking inc sts into pattern. I don't understand the very last part "working inc sts into the pattern" how do I do that without making the pattern off a couple of stitches??? Won't that cause the pattern to be staggered??? Thanks for any help!

As you work the increases, you work them as they would appear if the pattern were bigger--expanding outward.

For example, if your pattern was

....xxooxxooxxooxxoo then on the increase you'd work it
...oxxooxxooxxooxxoox , then
..ooxxooxxooxxooxxooxx
xooxxooxxooxxooxxooxxo
