I knew uneven rows (RS) would increase by four, so the 9th threw me.<br /><br />You are awesome. Thanks for your tips and answering my question. <br /><br /> Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045504072155570433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948568942489641797.post-1031034630307619332013-05-24T15:00:08.272-07:002013-05-24T15:00:08.272-07:00You're correct; on the border there are no mor...You're correct; on the border there are no more increase after row 7. That's why the chart evens out there, instead of having the edges fanning out. Is it possible that you're using written directions? This is one moment when the chart is helpful for illustration.<br /><br />A way to double check shaping in a lace pattern is to look at your printed directions or chart and tally up increases and decreases in a particular row... for example, maybe in one column mark X's and in the other mark O's for decreases and increases respectively. (A double decrease gets two marks, remember.) If the increases and decreases tally up to being equal, there should be no change in stitch count. In the Shetland Triangle, during the body pattern, there is always four extra increases per RS row, creating that right angle shape.<br /><br />Sorry if my reply is too verbose! :)willyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04361676985542834823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948568942489641797.post-50983591317156039072013-05-24T11:31:12.122-07:002013-05-24T11:31:12.122-07:00Thanks, Andee.
