Hello Bev! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
From the designer: I took a look at the pattern and in the even rows the stitches should be worked as they appear (knit the knits and purl the purls) other than the garter edge. Hope that helps!
