Hello, this is a very useful video, thank you for sharing the calculations. I have a different problem that you had. I need to knit 9 cm from the neck to the armholes, which equals 26 rows. But if I increase every other row by 8 stitches, then after 26 rows I will have 8*26/2 = 104 extra stitches, and that is not enough. I need to have 136 stitches on the body. What should I do? If I continue knitting, the upper part will be too long. Should I increase by more than 8 stitches every other row? This is for a child's sweater.
@lutionofstitches6615 My gauge is 21x28. I haven't started yet, I'm only planning 😇 I think I should start with the neck having 56 stitches and out of those, 18 are for the front panel, 18 for the back. If I look at the front panel only: I start with 18 stitches, increase the front panel by 2 stitches every second row. I need 9 cm height, which is 26 rows. So, I start from 18 stitches, and 26 rows later I'll have 18+26=44 stitches. Which is not enough, because the body needs to be 60 stitches wide. I don't know where to get the extra 16 stitches. I could knit extra 16 rows and increase every other row, but then the top would be too long.
@@user-uv2hh7xn6h After 26 rows your number of stitches will be 13 ×8= 104 plus your initial 56 stitches. That's too many stitches.If you need 56 stitches for the neck opening and 60 stitches for the body the difference is only 4 stitches. Are you sure about your measurements.Do you need 60 stitches for the chest or is it 60 cm? My next video is for a baby sweater, the neck opening is 52 stitches.I have knitted it bottom up but the calculations are the same.I will upload it in the next few days maybe it'll help you.
Hi, you don't really divide, this is to show that you also add increases on every other round so on one round you knit yarn overs and on the next you knit them.
This was very useful. Thank you.
Thanks for your kind words

Hi,
what is your gauge and with how many stitches did you start?

@@theevolutionofstitches6615that would be perfect! I'm looking forward to see your video 🎉
Hi - could you explain why you divide the 59.4 by 2? And also you say how how you will knit the Raglan rounds without increases…how will you do that?
Hi, you don't really divide, this is to show that you also add increases on every other round so on one round you knit yarn overs and on the next you knit them.
