![]() Shape this by short rows so that it will become a pie shaped piece.Įach section will be short rowed down to the next to the last group. ![]() Radius = 1⁄2 the diameter of the circle.Ģ0 x 2 stitches per inch = 40 (this is what you will cast on). Find the radius of circle and change inches to stitches.You will substitute your own stitches and rows, and how many panels you want, but follow the same principle.įORMULA: to find the circumference of a circle, multiply the circumference of a circle,40 inch circle.Ĥ0 x 3.14 (pie) = 125.6 (six is larger then 5 so the answer is 126)ġ26 x 4 rows per inch = 504 rows around the edge.ġ0 panels ….504 rows divided by 10 panels = 50.4 (4 is less then 5 so the answer is 50). You will need only one measurement- how wide do you want the finish piece to be.įor example we will use 2.25 stitches and 4 rows = 1 inch. The entire piece is done by short rows (partial knitting). There is probably more advanced math in this than in anything else you have done. Once you learn this formula you will be able to do hats shawls or Afghans.

Here is a word from Joann. Alles wrote many patterns and charts for machine knitting and can be used on looms.
