Answer
Venius:

Thanks for the question.

If I am reading this correctly, you should have more than 26 stitches, since at the end of the instructions it states to leave the rest unworked.

You are going to do the pattern on the first 26 stitches, then you will do from the "ending after" till it states to turn, leaving the rest of the stitches unworked.

It then states to work this set of 27 stitches, that consist of 5 patt reps but only for the left front.  You be working 4 rows of this, ending with the piece being right side, for the next row.

I hope this makes sense. There is a lot of instruction on just one section, but it sort of makes sense since its stating stitches and some pattern that has been established.

Should you need any assistance, please let me know.

Happy hooking
