There is no rule that says you can't do it that way if you want to, but the pattern as written is for garter stitch. So you should knit the four rows. If you were to work this in the round however, then you'd want to alternate knit/purl rows in order to achieve garter stitch. Hope I didn't confuse you there :-)Sapphires-N-Purlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346927451040822020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3695027770711717118.post-35762308081329565312015-01-20T22:58:46.556-05:002015-01-20T22:58:46.556-05:00How many stitches do you cast on?

If you use the long tail cast on, it does create a row of knitting. I say it is up to you whether or not you want to count the cast on as a first row, but for me the cast on is just that. I don't start counting rows until I begin knitting the first row of the pattern.
