Increase or decrease 1 st on every 3rd and 4th row alternately


You can inc/dec on every 3rd and 4th row/round/cm alternately to get a smooth inc/dec in f.ex a raglan, in a V-neck or if you would like to shape your work, we sometimes write:
Increase or decrease 1 st on every 3rd and 4th row/round/cm alternately a total of 10 times!

Example 1: You inc/dec 1 st on every 3rd and 4th row/round/cm alternately a total of 10 times.
Do like this:
Work 2 rows, inc/dec on the 3rd row.
Work 3 rows, inc/dec on the 4th row.
Work 2 rows, inc/dec on the 3rd row.
Work 3 rows, inc/dec on the 4th row.
Repeat until you have inc/dec a total of 10 times.

Example 2: You inc/dec 1 st on every 1,5 and 2 cm alternately a total of 10 times.
Do like this:
Work 1,5 cm, inc/dec.
Work 2 cm, inc/dec.
Work 1,5 cm, inc/dec.
Work 2 cm, inc/dec.
Repeat until you have inc/dec a total of 10 times.

NB! If you crochet or knit back and forth on the needles, you inc/dec both on the right side and the wrong side. Feel free to use a marker so that you easily can see where to inc/dec.
If you crochet or knit round on a circular needle, all the inc/dec happens from the right side.
Feel free to read the inc/dec-tip in the pattern, where we often clarifies where and how to inc/dec.
