Question on a pattern someone posted

It was quite awhile back, and I don't recall who posted it, but it was one
of those SAVE type...
It's called
LADDER OF LIFE
and the poster put it exactly like this:

Row 1: k4, p6
Row 2 (and all even rows): purl
Row 3: knit
Row 5: p 5, k4, p1
Row 7: knit
Repeat rows 1 to 8.

My question is row 5... should it actually be:
P5 * k4, p6 ... repeat from * ???
TIA,
Noreen

That's a pattern published in (I believe) IK after 9/11, would have
been the Winter '01 edition. The last time I looked the pattern is
still available on www.interweave.com complete with photo.

I haven't made the socks so can't speak to your question, but the
pattern on the website should be correct. PDF format IIRC.

Slinky,
As informative as your answer is, it's not quite what I'm looking for...
NOT the ladder of life socks, this is just a pattern for afghans, squares,
scarves, stoles, etc....
But thanks for your input!!

ROTFL!
But, not to worry, your answer just might lead someone else to making
Ladder of Life SOCKS, and that would be "a good thing" !!!

Hi Noreen,

Just did a quick google search and it was Barbara Vaughn who posted the
pattern.

Hugs,

Nora

Hi Noreen,

I was the one who posted this pattern. I never tried it myself. I had
seen a lovely baby blanket made with the pattern. I later found the
pattern I posted in a book, The Book of Knitting, by Marinella Nava.

I just checked it again and that's the way it's printed.

However, looking at your suggestion, it seems to me that it would be
the same thing, wouldn't it?

LOL, yes Barbara, it WOULD be the same.... I've just never seen it worded
that way.
thanks

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.
