Needle Increasing or decreasing for Sweater Production (Sweater Analysis)
Calculating the exact number of rows between each increase or decrease when knitting sleeves or other shaped pieces can sometimes be a bit 'hit and miss'. In the example shown on the right, 36 stitches need to be increased each side and the increases spread evenly throughout 140 rows. The quick and easy method is to divide 140 by 36. This gives a result of 3.8888 rows. Not very practical to knit, so we probably interpret it as: Rows Increase 1 stitch at each end of every 3rd row 36 times = 108 Knit 32 rows straight = 32 Total 140 The problem now is that the shaping you wanted is not what you've got
