Calling all Knitters!!!

[dancingqueen1979]

I am currently working on my first knitting pattern and I have been doing so well until I got to the following:-

With 7mm needles cast on 24 sts and work 4 rows in gst.
Change to 8mm needles and beg with a P row work 8 rows rows in rev st-st. **

What does the * mean? I know its something to do with repeat but when I've googled it everything says repeat the instructions that follow but in this instance the * come at the end of section?!

Please help :0)))

have you read through the rest of the pattern to see if it refers later to repeating from *?

you may find that if you are making the front of something, when you start the back it says do the same until *

As Secret says it.
The sweater pattern I am looking at the * are at the end of a front panel before arm hole shaping and when you come to do the back it says work as front until *
It saves printing two lots of identical instructions.

Oh, it all makes sense now!!!

I have been working on Left Front and reading through the rest of the pattern when it comes to Right Front it asking me to work exactly as given for Left front to **. It's a cross over cardigan so shaping the Left Front Slope is different to the Right Front Slope therefore if I had carried on following the Left Front pattern it would have been wrong!!

Thank you ever so much ladies, I really appreciate your help :0))) It probably isn't the easiest pattern to have chosen for my first
