A clearer set of directions?

If this is the pattern you're working: http://knightsandknits.blogspot.ca/2008/12/softly-striped-cozy-throw-pat... , then just follow the directions as written. Use stitch markers! Use paper and pen if needed to keep track of exactly what row you're on. I think that maybe the writer of your copy of the pattern mistakenly wrote that bit about 12 garter stitches. The whole afghan is alternating 'blocks' of garter and stockinette, each 12 stitches wide. It should look striking when finished.
