I've been knitting this sample as such:
Knit 3, SSK, knit to last 5 stitches, K2tog, knit to end.
However, as I look at the sample I wonder, should I be knitting it this way instead?:
Knit 2, SSK, knit to last 4 stitches, K2tog, knit to end.
Whereby, the sample will appear to have three rows of knit prior to any decrease, as in the swatches 4, 5 and 6. Hhmn.
Which method did you use?
You've been making great progress!! In each of these swatches, you want to have three "free" stitches on each edge. So you the way you have done it is the way I did it as well. As I look at mine, there are three stitches and then a stitch that contains the decrease, it does look like four stitches, but it's the one with the decrease, so that doesn't count. It adds up to three "before" the decrease and three "after" the decrease. So we're good. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Knowing that makes me feel better. There was that moment of uncertainty. Thanks.
