Difficult pattern

[freefika]

Hi, im knitting a ladies cardigan...im on the back of it...and it says to knit as pattern for 9 inches and then to decrease on each side of next 10 rows... the pattern reads:

Row 1: k1, yfwd, k1 *s1,k2tog,psso,k1, yfwd, k1, yfwd, k1 * repeat from * till last 5 stitches s1, k2tog, psso, k1, yfwd, k1

Row 2: Purl

Row 1 and 2 sets pattern

now i dont know how to decrease on both sides for 10 rows keeping up with the pattern...kindly help...

Row 1: k1, yfwd, k1 *,k2tog,ps1sso, k1, yfwd, k1, yfwd, k1 * repeat from * till last 5 stitches s1, k2tog, psso, k1, yfwd, k1

Row 2: Purl

If you work the rows as they're written, you will decrease at each end of the rows and will keep in pattern. I believe that you'll only be increasing on the next 10 RS rows since that's where the decreases occur.
