CONTINENTAL TECHNIQUE Lesson 18.3
Picking up stitches along the row edge
If you always slip first stitch then each edge stitch counts as 2 rows (see Lesson
6 for more details).If you do not slip first stitch then each edge stitch counts
as 1 row.
As a rule of thumb no matter how thick or thin the yarn is, to pick stitches evenly
along the row adge you should keep the proprtion of 3 stitches for 4 rows.
When slipping first stitch: pick up 1 stitch in the next loop (row), then make extra
stitch and then pick up 1 stitch in the next following loop (row).
When not slipping first stitch: pick up 1 stitch in the next loop (row), then skip next loop, then pick up 1 stitch in the each of next following loops (rows).
