Reading directions

[Shirley J]

I'm working on a pattern that says "Rep last 2 rows for pat until work from lower edge measures 17 ending on a WS row.
Fasten off.

My question is: when they say lower edge does this include the ribbing or just that pattern part?

 

Thanks in advance

What's the link to the pattern?

Just from the language of the brief instruction, I would assume it meant including the ribbing - bottom edge. 

Does this pattern have a diagram--I'm assuming it is a wearable?  Diagrams can answer a lot of questions, as well as help you make adjustments for a better fit.  If it's for you, does 17" make sense for what happens after that--I'm thinking 17" isn't an unreasonable measurement between the start of armhole shaping and the hem of a woman's sweater for example (working bottom up).

I see that there's an "ask a question" button on the page. (There's already 5 questions and answers, but none about the definition of the lower edge.) To be on the safe side, you should use the question button to get the correct answer.
