Hi,
I am knitting a sweater for my brother who has round shoulders (almost a dowager’s hump) and I want to add extra fabric to the back using short rows (see pic of sweater back so far). The back is 91 stitches from armhole to armhole and calls for 10 inches of rows of 91 stitches before beginning to shape the shoulders with bind-offs. I want to add about 2 inches of extra fabric to the upper back without changing the row size of 91 stitches (see diagram).
I am new to short rows and may not understand exactly what’s going on, but if I add a short row dart that tapers to the top (see diagram), won’t I end up with fewer than 91 stitches when I get to the shoulder shaping? How can I add fabric rows without changing the stitch count? Thanks.
Zaffer!
