When a knitting pattern says "multiples of twelve + 1", does it mean "36 stitches plus 3" or "36 stitches plus 1"? Is it plus 1 stitch for every twelve stitches or plus 1 stitch added to the total (36)?

Each multiple of 12 needs an added stitch.
so its 12 or (13)
24 or (26)
36 or (39)
Does that make sense? You add one stitch to each multiple.

So you've got the multiples part it's the plus part that is stumping you. It's +1 or +2, etc. but only ONCE not one time for each multiple. It's normally just to begin (and end ) the pattern. You will probably see that your pattern starts (or ends) with K1 (or p1) then goes in to the "multiple of 12" that you are doing for 36 stitches. I may have made that sound more confusing than it is. Hope it helps.

It is a multiple of the given number, plus one for the end of the row.
So it is 12+1=13, 24+1=25, 36+1=37, and so on.
The one is to end your last pattern or to have a neutral stitch to end on.
If you would have needed one extra for each repeat they would have told you to use multiples of 13.
