I am working on Serine Spring Drops 0-1104. Under the instructions for the Yoke, it states to knit all stitches and increase by 20 (for a medium) evenly for a total of 154. How do you increase evenly? How do the incorporate the extra 20 stitches?

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Dee, To calculate how to decrease/increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 154 stitches) and divide stitches by number of decreased/increases to be done (e.g. 20) = 7,7. In this example work approx. every 7th and 8th stitch together. When increasing make 1 yarn over after every approx. 8th stitch. On next round work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. I hope this helps.
