I understand the knots and the color and the strings and all, but do you do it knot by knot, or row by row? For example
A B
A B
A B
A B
A B
Would I go, A B, or A A A A A then B B B B B?

All patterns alpha or normal are read and knotted left to right.

So if you are reading a normal pattern and your strings look like this:

A B C A B C

You would knot A&B together C&A together and B&C together.

Then you would go to the next row down and tie the innermost strings of the previous row together so:

B&C, A&B

The outermost strings don't make knots every other row. So the next row you'll want to introduce them again:

A&B, C&A, B&C

I hope that helps explain it a little.
