Hi, I wonder if someone could help me with the number of stitches. I can’t seem to get them right after decreasing them.
From Row 5 to Row 30 it is all 87 stitches. At Row 31, it decreases to 73 stitches. which means i need to lose 14 stitches. but no matter how many times i count/knit/recount/reknit, I can only lose 7 stitches. There are 7 psso. so I lose 7 stitches. So how do i get to lose 14 stitches ?
instructions as below:
Row5: [K3, m1] to last 3 sts, k3 (87 stitches)
Row6:[K1,p1] to last st, k1.
Row7:[P1,k1] to last st, p1.
Row8:[P1,k1] to last st, p1.
Row9:[K1,p1] to last st, k1.
Rep rows 6-9, 5 times more.
Row30:[K1,p1] to last st,k1.
Row 31:[P1,k1] 3 times, sl2 pwise, p1,psso, ([k1,p1] 4 times, k1, sl2 pwise, p1, psso) 6 times, [k1, p1] 3 times. (73 sts)
Breakdown of Row 31 in detail:
Row 31: P1k1,p1k1,p1k1, sl2 pwise, p1, psso, (k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1, sl2 pwise, p1, psso), (k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1, sl2 pwise, p1, psso), (k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1, sl2 pwise, p1, psso), (k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1, sl2 pwise, p1, psso), (k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1, sl2 pwise, p1, psso), (k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1p1,k1, sl2 pwise, p1, psso), k1p1,k1p1,k1p1
Would really appreciate any help! Thank you !
