Question wise ones. If I want to make a round dishcloth bigger do I just add extra stitches? I mean say the pattern calls for 30 of which say (making numbers up here new!) 20 make the pattern round or star like. Would you increase to eg 50 and still leave the pattern increase decrease bit at 20? Hope that makes sense?!? Want to use the same pattern to make a table mat! Ta! |

I’m not sure I follow. Are you knitting in the round starting from the centre? You need to add more rounds, not more starting stitches. You’d need to continue increasing on the extra rounds.

Agrees with Meglet. Cast on with the same number of stitches, then add extra rounds as you progress past the dishcloth dimensions. You'll need to increase proportionally to keep it from curling up at the edges too.

Can you link to a photo of the design you're planning to modify, Pix? If it's knitted in the round from the inside out, it's like Meglet and Garfield describe. If it's knitted on straight needles then the edges joined in a circle, the sums are more complicated.

I thought it might be a design like that! I'll bet someone on Ravelry will have figured it out and put a pattern in the database. I have no doubt that it CAN be done, but it's not as simple as working short rows for 20 stitches and working an additional unspecified number of stitches without shaping.
