I am knitting a basic DK raglan, boxy sweater, full free pattern available here.
I’d like to play with adding a bit of waist shaping. I’m wondering how I would do that. Once I’ve separated for the body from the sleeves (the body is knit in the round btw) - would I decrease by a 4 stiches every 4 rows or so? Would I put my decreases on what would be the sides of the sweater, eg 2 decreases right next to each other on either side of the sweater.
And then bloom it back out again by adding back those stitches every 4 rows or so! ?
Does that sound reasonable? Is that how basic waist shaping is achieved?
