My project has lots of rows in seed stitch, all worked successfully. Now comes pattern instructions to decrease to shape the neck by patterning to last 4 sts, then work 2 tog and pattern 2 more.
I have k1 p1 to get the seed stitch to the last 4 sts in the row, and now its time for the work 2 tog, so I k 2 tog. Whats next? Both options seem wrong: If I purl next (on the theory that I have just knit so I must purl next), wont I be off by one in comparison to the row below and I wont really get a seed stitch; If I knit next (on the theory that the stich that I am knitting into would ordinariily require a knit stitch in order to make a seed stitch), wont I have two knits in a row and that wont look like a k1 p1.
I assumed increases or decreases within a pattern would be in multiples of the pattern, such as decreasing by 2 here, so things would match up.
I am a combination knitter if that makes any difference in your suggestions.
thanks
When I did a seed stitch on a garment I did your second option. You will more than likely be continuing to decrease in following rows so it should not be noticeable that you have 2 knits in a row.
This should help you
