Seed Stitch Increase? Debbie Bliss seed stitch shoes

[bchan]

I'm working on the Debbie Bliss seed stitch shoes pattern from her book Baby knits for beginners.

I understand that seed stitch is alternating K, P, K, etc. on one row and then P, K, P,K. I'm able to make a rectangular piece in seed stitch.

My problem is that the pattern states:

Seed st 1 row. (did that)
Work in seed st and inc one st at each end of next and every foll alt row until there are 38 sts, work all increases sts in seed st, so keeping the continuity of the pattern.

I did the second row, beginning with P, K, P, K to end of row.

So, on the 3rd row, I think I'm supposed to increase sts at beg and end of this 3rd row. Since I'm supposed to begin with a K, how do I go about keeping the pattern while increasing? Do I inc front and back with back being a P, but then my next st should be a P, to go with the previous row K?

I think that the increases should begin on row 2. Because it says to do one row in seed stitch, then says on next and following alternate rows do an increase on each end. I would take that to mean on row 2, 4, 6, etc.

If the row that you need to increase on is supposed to begin with a knit stitch, then the stitch you are adding at the very beginning of the row would be a purl stitch, ri
