knitting baby blanket/afghan help

Hi! I have had trouble with this particular pattern. I am afraid
there’s a mistake in it. It is a baby blanket/afghan. starts with co
of 4 sts k 3 rows, row 4, k1 (k in to front and back of next st 2
times k1(. Now I have 6 sts on needle. row 5, sl1 k 2, yo, k to end.
Keep doing tis till piece is as wide as you like it to be. to decrease
and this is where I have a problem and I hope someone can help me on
this one. To begin decreasing, sl1, k2, k2 tog, k to end of row. Keep
going till you have 4 sts on needle. binbind off. Now where is the
problem here? When I do the decrease, I don’t see the same holes like
I do when I do the increasing on my start up. I don’t quite understand
it. thanks for the help. Portia

Yep, you're decreasing but without the eyelets. So for the dec rows
change it to sl 1, k1, k2tog, YO, k2tog, knit to the end. You need 2
decs or the YO will keep the stitch number the same.

Will it have the same look all the way around the sides when I do the
decrease Sue? and, does the first half where I do the increase rows to
get it wide as I want right? Thanks for your help my friend. Portia
