Posted - Mar 07 2010 : 08:18:24 AM I sure am having fun learning to knit!!! I am working on a baby hat now, pretty straightforward except for this one part. I figured out how to do a bar increase, but the question is when! Do they mean within 1 row, or spaced evenly over the 3 1/2"? Can anyone help me out on this? Here is what the pattern says: Cast on 96 sts. work in k2, p2 rib for 3/4". Next Row: Work in St st, inc 3 sts evenly across using bar increase- ppsts. Continue in St st until piece measures 3 1/2" from beg.
Thank you girls!

Posted - Mar 08 2010 : 07:20:11 AM Brenda, Are you working the hat on circulars or double points? I have found that any thing that calls for dps can be done using 2 circular needles and it is much easier. also easier than 1 16" circular which I find to be really hard on my hands Michele

Posted - Mar 07 2010 : 10:54:27 AM Yes, you increase just the one time - you are working on more stitches for the ribbing so the stitches were added to make the ribbing count correct but the hat would be a bit too big if you continued on with the same number of stitches. Space the decreases evenly in row.

Posted - Mar 07 2010 : 09:55:53 AM Yes, I read that the increase is a total of 3 stitches...placed evenly on that one row.

Posted - Mar 07 2010 : 09:34:29 AM As I read it it just the one row. Good luck
