Question regarding pattern instructions

[LittleLilly]

When working with a pattern, what does it mean when it saws to “work even” for the rows 7-11?

I'm a little new to this, as you can probably tell.

It means to work your stitches in rows 7 - 11 in the pattern that's been established in the preceding row or rows.

It means - don't increase and don't decrease.

Yes, what Jean Marie wrote is right!

[LittleLilly]

Thanks, that makes total sense now. I guess part of picking up any new hobby is learning the terminology. I don't think I've ever heard the phrase "work even" used in any other subject before
