Then the instructions would be the same until your transition row, which would look like this:<br /><br />Transition Row: k25, place marker, k21, place marker, knit until end of round<br /><br />Then you will have fewer pattern rows, and they will go like so:<br /><br />Row 1: knit until first marker, m1l, slip marker, k7, k2tog, yo, k3, yo, ssk, knit until next marker, slip marker, m1r, knit until end of row<br /><br />Row 2 and all even rows: knit, slipping extra markers when you come to them<br /><br />Row 3: knit until first marker, m1l, slip marker, k6, k2tog, yo, k5, yo, ssk, knit until next marker, slip marker, m1r, knit until end of row<br /><br />Row 5: knit until first marker, m1l, slip marker, k5, k2tog, yo, k7, yo, ssk, knit until next marker, slip marker, m1r, knit until end of row<br /><br />Row 7: knit until first marker, m1l, slip marker, k4, k2tog, yo, k9, yo, ssk, knit until next marker, slip marker, m1r, knit until end of row<br /><br />Row 9: knit until first marker, m1l, slip marker, k3, k2tog, yo, k11, yo, ssk, knit until next marker, slip marker, m1r, knit until end of row<br /><br />Row 11: knit until first marker, m1l, slip marker, k2, k2tog, yo, k13, yo, ssk, knit until next marker, slip marker, m1r, knit until end of row<br /><br />Row 13: knit until first marker, m1l, slip marker, k1, k2tog, yo, k15, yo, ssk, knit until next marker, slip marker, m1r, knit until end of row<br /><br />Row 15: knit until first marker, m1l, slip marker, k2tog, yo, k17, yo, ssk, slip marker, m1r, knit until end of row<br /><br />Row 16: knit, slipping extra markers when you come to them<br /><br />Then complete the pattern as instructed, except slip 21 stitches to your yarn to hold except for 31.<br /><br />Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions :) Also, bear in mind that using a heavier weight yarn will change the drape of the piece - I imagine it will be snugglier and firmer.Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-47929828274273010582014-09-27T04:56:31.800-07:002014-09-27T04:56:31.800-07:00What adjustments should I make to use a thicker ya...What adjustments should I make to use a thicker yarn?
