Lets go through these instructions below:

work to the WS.

back.

Pull the yarn through the hole under both loops you have your
first stitch of 1st row for Dino edge.
Insert your needle under the next pair of edge loops.
Weave the yarn over the needle.
Pull the yarn through the hole under both loops and receive the 2nd
stitch.
Continue picking up the stitches.
Check your wrong side, it should look like the one on this picture.
After you finish with picking up stitches and will have 8 (10), 16 (20), 8 (10), 16 (20) stitches on your
needles, knit all sts in first 2 rounds, in third round knit *ssk, yo* to the end, rounds 4th, 5th and 6th knit all
sts.

in your 1st round of st st under your left needle.
This is the hole under front and back edge loops
from which you picked up stitches for Dino edge
earlier.

the chain of edge loops.

needle and

every next stitch and in the end you will see how
the Dino edge is nicely shaped.
