For ease in working, before you begin, circle the numbers pertaining to the size you are knitting or crocheting.

Hi, I think they just mean that the pattern for the whole body of the sweater is made with these 4 rows. P, K, K, K They would be repeated throughout the whole sweater. It's what gives it that ribbed look.
