Any tips on starting off as when I start joining in the round after I have cast on the stitches I'm struggling to do 1st round as stitches are too tight.

The issue I faced was, row 9 is decrement row, and then 10 - 11 rows are purl - knit rows. On the next round of decrement (row 12) you are facing the purl side with straight needles. So I followed this pattern for purl side - p until 2 sts remain before SM, ssp, transfer SM from left to right needle, p5, transfer SM, p2tog, p until 2 sts remain before SM, ssp, transfer SM, p5, transfer SM, p2tog, p to end of rnd. Hope this helps. Thanks, S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489939019058001824.post-90778077085129582442012-03-14T08:36:15.277+00:002012-03-14T08:36:15.277+00:00Hi mj!

There are some great tutorials on YouTube that are really helpful.<br /><br />xxxElisalexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348089755337617631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489939019058001824.post-46164598662725949592012-02-05T17:09:41.930+00:002012-02-05T17:09:41.930+00:00Hi I love this little dress it is so cute, I have ...Hi I love this little dress it is so cute, I have just had my first granddaughter after having two grandsons and would love to knit this. The problem is I just cannot get on with a circular needle, I am getting so frustrated and wondered if this can be knitted on straight pins instead. Please help me if you can.

The simplest thing to do make the dress bigger would be to up the needle size - maybe try it using 9mm? Or, you could make a note of the measurements you need for the dress to fit around the chest, figure out how many stitches you'll need for that measurement by checking the gauge, then add the 5 rounds of decreases (or more to increase the length also) to that to figure out how many stitches you need to cast on. Just remember, each decrease round eliminates 4 stitches, so for 5 rounds of decreases you'll need to add 20 stitches to the amount of stitches you want around the chest. <br /><br />I hope this helps!Elisalexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348089755337617631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489939019058001824.post-29416649105981239042011-09-17T04:20:26.951+01:002011-09-17T04:20:26.951+01:00Hi Elisa.
