This is my first attempt at making a cardigan after many, many years of afghans. I'm enjoying the results, but have run into a little snag in the instructions and I hope that someone might help me comprehend this.

Pattern says:

Row 3: Ch 2, hdc in next st, ch 2, skip next ch-2 space, *skip next dc, FPdc around next dc, working in front of FPdc just made, FPdc aroudn skipped dc, ch 2, skip next ch-2 space; repeat from * to last 2 sts, hdc in last 2 sts, turn --

Row 4: Ch 2, hdc in next st, ch 2, skip next ch-2 space, "BPdc around next 2 sts, ch 2, skip next ch-2 space; repeat from * to last 2 stat, hdc in last 2 sts, turn --

This is the basic pattern of the sweater. Pretty easy. I am working on the sleeve and have come upon my first increase. The increase is as follows:

Row 7: (Increase) Ch 2, hdc in next st, ch 3, skip next ch-2 space, *skip next dc, FPdc around next dc, working in front of FPdc just made, FPdc arouns skipped dc, ch 3, skip next ch-2 space; repeat from * to last 2 sts, hdc in last 2 sts, turn --

Row 8: Ch 2, hdc in next st, ch 3, skip next ch-3 space, *BPdc around next 2 sts, ch 3, skip next ch-3 space; repeat from * to last 2 sts, hdc in last 2 sts, turn --

Basically, the increase is ch 3 instead of ch 2. And then the pattern says:

Rows 9-14: Repeat Row 3 and 4 three times.

And this is where I get confused. Am I actually supposed to repeat Rows 3 and 4 with the chain 2 space in between the FPdc and BPdc -- or am I to continue with the chain 3 space that I did in the incease row? To me, it doesn't make sense to repeat Rows 3 and 4 after an increase. It seems like it would defeat the purpose of an increase (and there are a total of 3 increases in the sleeve -- each one adding a chain). I'm thinking that Rows 9-14 should be a repeat of Rows 7 and 8, and so on.

Am I thinking wrong?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
