Decreasing Row How do I do this?

I have 70 stitches on my needle: I am ready to work a decrease row As follows

Decrease Row* Patt 45sts, work 2 tog, patt45sts, rep from *to last 010sts, patt04sts, work 2 tog 01time,patt04sts-5464sts.


I think I am to end up with 64 but i am not sure how.


My pattern row would be *P3,k1,p3,k3 rep from * to end.

YOUR ANSWER


Does your stitch pattern create a recognizable pattern as you knit? If so you just follow the pattern already set between the decreases and work your way across the row.

If it doesn't you can work it out with a pen and paper.

Your pattern is P3,k1,p3,k3 repeated across the row. So long hand it would look something like this:

P3,k1,p3,k3,P3,k1,p3,k3,P3,k1,p3,k3,P3,k1,p3,k3...

Just work in the decreases:

Decrease Row* Patt 45sts, work 2 tog, patt45sts, rep from *to last 010sts, patt04sts, work 2 tog 01time,patt04sts-5464sts.

P3, k1, p3 - replace with k2tog, p1, k3,P3 - replace with p1, k2tog, k1, p3, k3 - replace with k2tog, k1, P3, k1, p3, - replace with k2tog, p2, k3 - replace with k1, k2tog, P3, k1, p3 - replace with k2tog, p1 k3...and so on.

Notice the different look and feel on some pages?

I am currently moving all of the pages to a new CSS driven template but with around 700 pages it is going to take me a while to get it done.

So in the meantime, I hope you will forgive the switch from one look to another as you navigate through the site...
