Okay, so since pride is coming up and I wanted to manipulate a basic tshirt pattern for pride, I finished the back of the violin sweater and then started on this one. (I also have to make socks for my sister’s partner’s birthday which was two days ago… gaaaah I need to focus in on one pattern)
So I’m doing this pattern: https://www.originallylovely.com/knitting/perfect-t-shirt-knitting-pattern/
Where I am confused is the yarn they used says 23 stitches and 16 rows to 4 inches. The pattern says 22 stitches and 28 rows. The yarn I’m using… just says 22-24 stitches and doesn’t give me rows. (https://yarnsub.com/yarns/estelle/double_knit)
So I’m using size 6 like the pattern says and I’m averaging about 6.2 rows to an inch so far as I can tell. (I’m at 20 rows and 2 rounds and it’s at 3.5 inches) but then when it says work even until piece is 7.5 inches, and I need to do 28 rounds before the end of the increases, wouldn’t that take me past 7.5 inches?
So my main question is do I go up or down a needle size to get it more correct for the gauge?
