If any such thing exists, I’m sure someone on this forum will know it. Is there a formula for working out how often to miss a row to ensure even distrbution? I need to matress stitch the cast off edge of a front piece to the selvedge edge of a cuff to cuff knitted sleeves and yolk. I’ve got 102 stitches to tie up with 155 rows between the markers. Thanks in antiipation.
Selvedge edge to cast off edge mattress stitch
It’s really working out a ratio given the number of stitches and rows that you have. For 102sts to 155 rows you’ll be stitching 2sts for every 3 rows. You would attach a stitch to a row, attach the next stitch to the next row then skip a row.
It’s like the video here from Suzanne Bryan (see especially 20min):
Thank you so much. So its 155 rows divided by 102 stitches which equals 1.5 rows per 1 stitch which in ‘whole’ rows is 3 rows to 2 stitches. Brilliant!
