Expanding on a theme

One of the aspects about increasing that many people find tricky is doing it in a pattern, and incorporating the new stitches into the pattern stitch. We'll talk about how it works generally, and then look at the specific cases of ribbing and seed stitch since those come up frequently. It's going to simplify the following discussion if we first look at h... (314 天前)

An expanding view

We've gone over the various types of single increases, and I've shown you some of the pattern language that generally serves as a trigger that a certain type of increase is expected by the pattern writer. Now, let's talk for a bit about choosing increases when you don't have that guidance -- maybe the pattern just says, "increase X stitches in the next r... (314 天前)

Expanding our horizons

We've spent a while talking about decreases -- how about some increases for a while? Let's look at the general types, some of their advantages and disadvantages, and where they can and cannot be freely substituted. We'll also talk about how increases are specified within patterns, which is more often vague than the way decreases are specified.I'm going ... (314 天前)

Two forward, one back

And while I'm on the topic of decreases again, here's a quick little nugget that I think is really clever, and thought I'd throw out: I have a commercially-knit cardigan that has a section of 2x2 rib that merges into a 5x2 based pattern, so that they needed to get rid of one of the stitches in a "k2, p2, k2" sequence. Now, one of the design issues with d... (314 天前)

A left-leaning bent

We've talked before about why decreases lean, and mirrored decreases, but there's one thing I didn't get into back then, and that's the niggling little way that our left-leaning decreases never look quite as good as our right ones. Those k2togs are nice and crisp, but SSK, SKP... they're tough, and usually the top stitch of the decrease ends up being muc... (314 天前)

When good gauge goes bad

Sometimes, you get a gauge swatch that is not lying, but is instead insisting upon telling you an uncomfortable truth. Despite having carefully planned and knit, washed your swatch, attempted to block it to gauge -- all the right steps -- you find that you just can't get your yarn to match the gauge for your pattern. Or perhaps you can match either stitc... (314 天前)

The fabric of our lives

In the previous posts on gauge, I've mostly focused on gauge over stockinette swatches. There's a reason for that, of course; that's by far the most common fabric over which gauge is measured. This is the case even for many projects which aren't worked in stockinette; designers will quite often make the assumption that if you match gauge in stockinette, ... (314 天前)
