I cast on eight extra stitches (in addition to the 6 extra Laura suggests). I knit the first two and last two through the back loop. I purl the third and fourth as well as the third and fourth from the end. This tightens up those loosey-goosey edges!Mommykins1354https://www.blogger.com/profile/09383688753136829760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298152147095480091.post-17988565131967332182015-02-28T09:24:48.874-05:002015-02-28T09:24:48.874-05:00Adding my thanks!

If when knitting the swatch I'm pretty sure that I need to go up or down a needle size, I'll make the change in needles more evident by working half an inch of garter stitch between the stocking stitch worked in the different needle sizes.Oneday Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717758579674730875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298152147095480091.post-38795042079402591802015-02-26T16:17:06.856-05:002015-02-26T16:17:06.856-05:00Thank you so very much ,Laura........from houseof...Thank you so very much ,Laura........from houseofknitting<br />DollyDollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034896815835020065noreply@blogger.com
