How To Change Sizes In Knitting Patterns

This is done very simply by knowing your measurements. Then knit a swatch to make sure your tension is same as in directions. Then multiply the number of stitches per inch by the number of inches you wish any part of the garment increased in size and add the required number of stitches.

Watch your work as you proceed and be sure you decrease or increase to give your garment the correct size and shaping for the different parts.

Watch your shoulder width, depth of armhole and shape of neckline.
