Question back at you. Does the pattern give a multiple to cast on? And yes,
it amounts to the same thing after the initial group, but the odd notation
may also be a matter of what happens at the end of the row. I've seen
patterns written that way before and sometimes just concluded it was a
matter of being seriously economical with words or a phobia about stars.

LOL, very good question, Helen! Let's see if we can get an answer from the
original poster... since I already deleted all 'those' messages, I can only
guess.... it was.... I think.... Barbara V.

Yes, a multiple of 10 stitches. I thought I posted that in the
original pattern, but maybe I didn't.

This book was translated into English from the Italian, so it may just
be a difference in approach. I haven't bought any knitting books or
magazines since moving to Italy, so I wouldn't know. (I haven't
knitted in quite a while; mostly I crochet now.)

It's funny, I bought this book over 10 years ago, without realizing it
was a translation, and before I had any idea that I might ever be in
Italy.
