We're going to ask you for a link to your pattern, so that we can see an example. Let me think. Sometimes, people put the number of stitches at the end of their row
Ex: Row2: k2tog, k3, repeat x2 (10 > 8)
Or: Row2: k2tog, k3 x2 (+ 8)
If your pattern looks like either of those, they're the same thing. The x2 means repeat that pattern within the row 2 times and the +8 means the number of stitches you should have once you're done your row should be 8.
I hope that's the problem. It always stinks when a hot pattern is quarked, but who can complain about free patterns?!
This link is a list of all pattern abbreviations. Some of them have videos for Continental and English knitters:
