Hello, My question is, when working a chart as in pattern 137-4, chart M.2, I would like some help. I'm new to lace knitting. Does the number of stitches change in the rep eat, or do they remain the same, and the stitches only increase on the panels before and after the repeat. That is my way thinking. Thank you so much for your help.

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Murphy, the number of sts in M.2 will inc by 2 sts on every other row (= every row from RS). You can add a marker between each repeat to make sure you can follow number of sts as in diagram. Happy knitting!
