Questions & Answers
Questions
Start typing your question and we'll check if it was already asked and answered.1 - 2 of 2 QuestionsQ: Why do you decrease stitches on the garter sections of the pattern?
a year ago1 AnswerA: Increases and decreases are used when stitch patterns change the gauge to keep the edges even.
a year agoHelpful?Q: How did you pick up 173 stitches on side edges? Is this every other stitch (row). Where did you come up with 173?
a year ago1 AnswerA: ou should have have approximately 254 rows of the pattern worked (82 rows for the first repeat, 72 rows for the 2nd repeat, 72 rows for the third repeat, 18 rows for the final repeat, and then 10 rows of the border ribbing). I didn't count your cast on or bind off edge in that. Since this doesn't work out (math wise) to exactly every row or every other row, you're going to have to play around with it. You'll want pick up every stitch for x number of stitches and then skip one. There's a difference of 81 stitches between the number of rows you have and the number of stitches you need. The rib pattern is 2x3 plus the 3 on the edge. That means you have a total 34 repeats plus the 3 on the end. Using all of those numbers, I went ahead and plotted it all out. NOTE: I did include the cast on edge and bound off edge in my plotting. This was to ensure the ribbing went edge to edge. To pick up 173 stitches along the edge you'll want to pick up the first 4 stitches and then skip 1, pick up 2, skip 1, pick up 2, and so on until the last 5 stitches. When you get to the last 5, pick up all 5. You'll have 4 stitches on one end and 5 stitches on the other (total of 9 edge stitches). You'll have picked up 82 sets of 2 stitches (164 stitches) and you'll have skipped 83 stitches. When I need to pick up a large amount of stitches like this I prefer to use a darning needle and scrap yarn and weave it through the stitches first. This does two things for me: 1. It lets me double check my spacing without overworking my actual yarn by undoing it until it's just right and 2. It provides a visual for me as I'm working so I know I'm getting the right stitch. You can also use stitch markers but I doubt you have 173 of those on hand. ;) You can pick them up with any spacing you want. The goal is to keep it consistent to avoid rippling or puckering.
