Is the cast on stitch the first row?

The knitted cast on works the same way as the cable cast on. The cast on stitches are on the left needle, so just knit the first row and there won't be any bumps.

Is the cast on stitch considered the first row?

Actually, what you shouldn't be counting is the “row” formed by the cast on. The cast on doesn't count as a row. But it's easier to count all the rows in the worked fabric, below the needle, and just not count the loops on the needle.

Is the cast on row the right side?

The tail at the bottom of your work (the yarn leftover from the cast-on row) should fall to the right of your work. When knitting in stocking stitch, this is what the right-side of your work will look like. If your pattern tells you to end on a RS row, your final row would start with the tail on the right-hand side.

Is the first row in knitting the right side?

Most patterns start on the right side. This means, that every odd-numbered row you knit is the right side, and every even-numbered row means knitting the wrong side.

Do you count the first stitch in knitting?

The best way to count stitches is by first identifying a stitch and then being able to count stitches up and down, which will tell us how many rows we have done and what row we need to work next.

Three Ways to Cast On Stitches at the Beginning of a Row

What counts as a row in knitting?

To count the number of rows in your knitting, count the stitches (the V's) vertically, including the loop over the needle. I've only highlighted five rows, but if you wanted to count the total number of rows you have worked, continue counting vertically down the column of stitches.

Which is the wrong side row in knitting?

The wrong side of knitting refers to the side that will be on the inside of a garment. The right side is the side the side seen when the garment is worn. The pattern row does determine the "wrong side", and as a general rule is usually an even row.

Do you cast off on the right or wrong side?

Typically you cast off stitches on the right side (so after you finished the last return row). But you can use this technique on the wrong side as well or even in the middle of a project. E.g. to shape the armpits or the neckline of a sweater.

How do you tell the right side of a knit fabric?

Single Knit Fabric can be a bit tricky to tell the right side from the wrong side, especially if the stitches are small. The right side will look like rows of Vs running vertical down the length of the fabric. The wrong side will have small curves running horizontally across the fabric.

What is the first stitch in knitting?

The simplest stitch combination is called garter stitch and it's made by knitting every single stitch. You hold the needle with the cast-on stitches and knit them one by one, in the process moving them to the right hand needle.

What does ending with Row 1 mean in knitting?

This means that on Row 1, which is the right side of the piece (RS), you will knit all 12 stitches on the needle. Then for Row 2, the wrong side (WS) of the piece, you will purl every stitch. The pattern may now say: Rep Rows 1 and 2 until piece measures 4” from the beginning, ending with a WS row.

What does ending on a right side row mean in knitting?

Ending with a right side row means that you complete a right side row before moving on to the next instruction in your pattern. So, in the next step, the wrong side is facing you (bumpy side).

Does garter stitch look the same on both sides?

Garter stitch lies flat and is totally reversible, meaning that both sides look the same.

How do you knit first row after long tail cast on?

If you knit the first row after a long-tail cast-on, you'll get a series of purl bumps on the right side (the knit side). Instead of knitting the first row, simply purl the first row (a wrong side row), and continue with stockinette stitch.

How do you count rows?

Just click the column header. The status bar, in the lower-right corner of your Excel window, will tell you the row count. Do the same thing to count columns, but this time click the row selector at the left end of the row. If you select an entire row or column, Excel counts just the cells that contain data.

What does every following 4th row mean in knitting?

To do something every fourth row means that you're working a four-row pattern, and one of those is a decrease row. So it goes like this: Work that initial decrease row. Then work a four-row pattern with a decrease at the end (three even rows, then decrease row).
