[Nfb-krafters-korner] understanding stitch pattern counts: was Looking for a Wavy Knit Pattern

[Annette Carr]

Hi,

When you see something like multiple of 10 plus 5 it means that to make a
wider item than 15 stitches, you would do some multiple of 10 plus 5 more
stitches.  So this could be 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 235, etc.  Now how the
multiples of 10 and the additional 5 stitches work together are all
dependent on how the pattern was designed.

HTH,
Annette

Hello,

I would like to understand exactly what this means please?  I do understand
that I can adjust the width of an item by adjusting the stitch count, but am
unclear about what multiple plus five exactly means. Please give a few
examples of changing a pattern using this?

it's something I've always wanted to know but never got around to asking.
To date, I follow patterns but don't do much changing. But if I can
understand how this works, it will open up new avenues for me to travel.

Thanks, 

Cathy F
