Or should it be okay as long as I keep the same pattern (however many the next transition row will have) on the other side?

I've tried to look it up and I just can't visualize how to do this. Is EVERY row an increase and is it after the first stitch or somehow before? Is there a video to possibly help us less experienced knitters with a terminology I've never heard of in the 6 years I've been knitting?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535145563500557634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-10498408594213116502017-12-09T11:53:49.156-08:002017-12-09T11:53:49.156-08:00Wonderful, let me know if you have any questions! ...Wonderful, let me know if you have any questions! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-69359983573947278052017-12-09T08:02:44.666-08:002017-12-09T08:02:44.666-08:00I love this thank you xI love this thank you xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821791178974018698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-17846340160870463312017-11-06T06:33:34.732-08:002017-11-06T06:33:34.732-08:00Hi there!

So here goes... So I cast on 19 stitches. Is the lifted increase only started in the 9th TR? It looks like you need to do something fancy to get the edging to thread the i-cord through? Or is that the benefit of the loose cast on?
