Would increasing in increments of 8 stitches for the cast on work? Or would I need to do 16 instead for the pattern to come out correctly? Or is it just not that simple, which is why you only have the one size? I saw that you recommended a smaller needle size to someone who wanted it smaller, but I'm thinking a bigger needle size might make the stitches too open.

Should work. So do your swatch test, and find the needle size to get you there. Hope that helps<br />chrischrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530046359068388972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-68277342727215508992016-11-17T12:22:50.378-05:002016-11-17T12:22:50.378-05:00Hi, I love this pattern and would love to knit it...Hi, I love this pattern and would love to knit it for my sister!

They all mean move 4 stitches. across two stitches. They all use 6 stitches to perform the cable.<br />The numbers work when you think of them that way.<br />Please take it to a yarn group or an experienced knitter to work through the pattern if you are still having difficulties. It is not a beginner pattern, for sure, and it is really hard to show you in words. Better to see it in person.<br /><br />Again, I hope that helps.

Can you design some of these beautiful sweaters where you knit from the top down or bottom up where there is no sewing involved? All your items are so lovely. I really want to make them all but if I see "sew this to that" then I sadly turn away.April Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845884870072343420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-80665432030034777352010-02-25T04:51:21.483-05:002010-02-25T04:51:21.483-05:00HI, it's beautiful!HI, it's beautiful!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08834094986494972318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-21328908763913019122010-02-25T04:51:06.217-05:002010-02-25T04:51:06.217-05:00HI, it's beautiful!HI, it's beautiful!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08834094986494972318noreply@blogger.com
