NEFR: Knitting pattern wording question

Artist4life925 · January 2011

OK so I'm knitting a baby shower gift and I can't quite figure out what this line is supposed to mean:

beg with a k row (35 sts), work in st st and inc 1 st at each end of the 5th row and every following 6th row until there are 45 sts

Indifferent Tongue Tied

So does that mean row 1-4 have 35 sts, 5 has 36, 6 has 37 then repeat it over again?

So the set would be 1-4 has 37, 5 has 38, and 6 has 39 then repeat until 45 sts?

or

is it 1-4 has 35, 5 has 36, 6 has 37, 7 has 38 and so on?

I might be over thinking this!! Huh?

none of the above. You knit in stockinette for 4 rows. In row 5, you increase on BOTH ends, so an increase of 2. Then you knit plain for 5 rows, and in the 6th repeat increase in both ends again, and so on.

So knit plain means stockinette for the rows or knit stitch?

stockinette, since that what's the pattern specified.
