For example, for the smallest size, you want to decrease 4 sts evenly when you're starting out with 32 sts. So you'd work *k6, k2tog* all the way around. If the math doesn't work out perfectly, that's fine. Just make sure you space out your decreases, but they don't necessarily all have to be exactly ___ sts apart. Does that make sense?Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109477116381179098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-6401122304156012802015-01-09T23:16:03.644-06:002015-01-09T23:16:03.644-06:00Thanks for the reply Carissa.

I happened to find some 29" circular needles in my stash of needles handed down to me and those seemed to work well. <br /><br />Another question though: at the end of the cuff, just before the ribbing, it says to decrease evenly around. Do I do that in a ribbing row? Or maybe do it in an additional round 2? <br />I love how these are turning out.

If you're not familiar with the short-row technique, it can be a little confusing. It may seem like Round 5 has more stitches than it should, but it's really just that you're working some of the stitches multiple times. When it says "w&t" (wrap & turn) you're going to stop knitting, wrap the yarn around the next unworked stitch, then turn around so the wrong side of the fabric is facing you, and purl back the other direction (reworking some stitches you just knitted). Then you'll see another "w&t" in the same round, so you'll stop again, wrap the next stitch, turn around again, and keep knitting in the direction you were originally going. Check out my <a href="http://www.carissaknits.com/2007/06/abbreviations.html" rel="nofollow">abbreviations</a> page for specific instructions on how to execute the w&t.

In essence, you will knit some stitches, turn around and purl back across a few of them, then turn again and knit the rest of the way. So some of the stitches in each short-row round are worked multiple times.

Then you should be able to connect the last stitch you cast on with the first stitch you knitted on that last row. Does that make sense?<br /><br />If it's any consolation, I'm sure I would be a terrible knitter if I had to try to do it from French patterns! :)Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109477116381179098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-64093495126188166752014-10-01T09:00:23.806-05:002014-10-01T09:00:23.806-05:00Hi Carissa!

Actually, i'm currently knitting them right now, and as a debutant french knitter, i'm quite proud to say that i've managed to make the fingers haha ! But, i'm having a little problem with the end of palm knitting....how do you join the sts ? Is the goal of it to knit in round/2needles (like we did with the magic cast on) ?<br /><br />I'm so sorry, my understanding of knitting technics in english is quite bad... :-)Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365662024466830382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-78682990592637515352013-12-25T16:33:18.542-06:002013-12-25T16:33:18.542-06:00Glad you like them, Elizabeth!
