Need to go from one stitch count to another? Calculate how many stitches to increase or decrease, and space them evenly across the row or round.
How to space increases and decreases evenly
When you go from one stitch count to another across a row or round, you space the increases or decreases evenly by dividing the row or round into almost equal sections. Take the number of stitches and divide by the number of increases or decreases. If it does not divide evenly, make some gaps one stitch longer than the others. That keeps the spacing as even as possible.
FAQ
How do I space decreases evenly across a row or round?
Divide the number of stitches by the number of decreases. The result shows roughly how many stitches go between each decrease. If it does not divide evenly, make some gaps one stitch longer so the spacing stays as even as possible.
