WORK IN ESTABLISHED PATTERN (AKA WORK EVEN) This is a very literal instruction and means keep doing exactly what you have been doing. If you have just worked a round of k2, p2 ribbing and now your pattern is telling you to “work as established"' then you will continue working rounds of 2x2 ribbing until instructed to do otherwise. Essentially you will knit the knits and purl the purls as you see them.
