I am knitting a ballet wrap. (I am a beginner and have only been knitting toys), so not sure how to reverse?

I have done the right front but cannot figure out how to reverse for the left front?

The instructions for the right front says:

1st row - S1,k6,*p1,k1,rep from *to last st,k1.
2nd row -S1,*p1,k1, rep from *to last 7 sts,k7
rep above
1st row - S1, knit to end
2nd row - S1, purl to last 7 sts, k7.
rep
next row - S1,k6,s1,k1,psso, knit to end
next row - S1, purl to last 7 sts, k7
keeping continuity of st-st and g-stitch border throughout work 24 rows dec once at front edge (as before) in next and every alt. row. 65 sts.
Work 39 rows dec once at front edge (as before) in 3rd and every foll 4th row. 55 sts.

Shape armhole
next row - cast off 7 sts purlways, purl to last 7 sts. k7
next row -S1 knit to last 5sts,k2tog,k3
next row - k3, purl to last 7 sts,k7
work 48 rows dec once at front edge (as before in 1st and every 4th row at same time dec once at armhole edge (as before) in next and every alt row. 11 sts.
next row - S1,K6,s1,k1,psso, k2tog.
next row - knit to end
next row - s1,k6,k2tog
next row - p2tog,k6
next row s1,k6

If you can give me an idea with the first couple of rows how to reverse I will try and work out the rest myself

Thank you

I think the other thing you need to know is about the decrease. On the right side you had to s1 k1 psso This gives a right slant to all the decrease stitches. For the left side it is important that you knit 2 together instead which gives a left slant.to the decrease stitch.
