Hello knitting friends! After 6 months teaching myself to crcohet I’m hopping back into knitting to make this Cap Sleeve Lattice Top: https://www.purlsoho.com/create/2012/05/03/lauras-loop-cap-sleeve
Somehow my gauge has changed and I’m now knitting at 20 stitches/4 inches on a size US 4. I can’t go down enough needle sizes to get the 24 stitches/4 inches the pattern calls for and still have smaller needles for ribbing. Whoops! I’ve calculated out that for a size 36 sweater I can alter it to cast on 91 stitches to meet my gauge. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how many stitches I’ll need to bind off at the neck. My brain is refusing to make sense of the proportional difference. I’ve had to frog it twice now trying to calculate as I go and I have to admit defeat. Can anyone help me figure out the bind off count?
Also, can anyone remind me if this gauge change will need more or less yarn than pattern calls for? I’m thinking less as fewer stitches needed but I don’t trust myself being so rusty!
Thank you
