Square pattern question
Hi all,
I remember talking about this before, but I don't remember the particulars. If I wanted to knit a square on the diagonal, how would I do that? Do I cast on 1 stitch and then increase to 2 stitches, continuing by increasing at both sides every row, or do I increase only the first stitch every row, or what? Of course, the reverse would be decreasing in the same way, but what way is that? Thanks in advance for your help. Janise |

Hi Janise,
I start with 2 stitches, and increase at the beginning of each row and decrease the same way. HTH -- Star love, Norma PM OES "Janise Ross" wrote in message ...

Janise Janise, I simply cannot start with 1 stitch, or even 2, as Norma said she does... I can only accomplish it by starting with THREE (yes, I'm weird! LOL!)... and I increase ONE one EVERY row, then decrease ONE on every row.

To decrease, I knit 2 together, Yarn over, knit two together at the beginning of each row. HTH Katherine |

I cast on like Noreen with three stitches and then increase one stitch at
the end of every row, some prefer the beginning of every row, I do the increase at the end of each row, but some do it at the beginning of each row, some people increase one stitch at each end of every alt row.. then when you've got to half the size you want you do the decreasing back to three stitches again...

I have adapted this pattern for other stitches by working the first four and last four stitches of each row in plain knit (include any increases or decreases in those eight stitches), and incorporating all stitches in between into the pattern. -- SueCD.......quietly unravelling in Cumbria (Scratch the itch to email me) |
