When beginning the pattern (after the first 3 rows of k1,p1 and the 4th row of increasing 5) at 73 sts., there are 9 extra sts. on the needle because the pattern is 16 sts. (4 x 16 = 64 plus 9 = 73). What does one do with the extra 9 sts.??

English is not my first language. Could someone translate the part for the part of the shawl and the hat for me in Dutch? I read K and P1 Can somebody tell me what those mean.
