Knitting question: Can I decrease in increase?

Hello! I'm knitting a Flax sweater - it's my very first sweater and I've been doing really well but I think I made a mistake... and I really REALLY don't want to frog a row because I'm terrified of doing that ha.

I am currently working on the Yoke part where I am increasing every other row - I'm supposed to do this for 18 rows of each (so 36 rows total) and from that point on, I will knit "as set" with no increases. Well, my problem is that I did 18 rows, but didn't realize it, and now have a 19th row on my needles. That 19th row is an increase row, so now I have 8 more stitches on there than the pattern calls for.

I feel like these are my options:

  1. Try to frog back a row. But I'm scared.
  2. Keep going knowing that 8 more stitches probably won't make a huge difference in fit (I'm not sure this is actually true, though??)
  3. Knit row 20 and just decrease those increases I made - will this look weird, though?

Thank you for your help! I can post pictures of the part of the pattern I am working on if any of this doesn't make sense.

I'm knitting a sweater for a chicken and need help! I'm a little confused by the neck instructions. I'm not sure where the decrease amounts are coming from since I was supposed to end the back portion with 25 stitches. Thanks!!

Knitting Question: How to fix gaps between decreases? New knitter working on first hat, and I’m not sure why I have gaps/ladders between my decreases. I have been doing k2tog each round. Should I be breaking up my k2tog rounds with all knit rounds? Thanks! reddit.com/gallery/kiewtc

How do you decrease to get these type of tight cuffs when knitting top down?

My mother started knitting this baby blanket before she passed away last year. Does anyone know what the pattern might be? It looks like some yarn overs and decreases but I’m not sure. I want to finish it for my baby due in April.

How do I smooth this? I'm new to knitting and so far I've made two hats and the decreases are lumpy and have huge gaps.

Second finished object of 2020 (first year that I’ve knitted two full things)(I started knitting in 2009): this hat I free-handed for my mom who’s had the same hat for 20 years (yarn is charisma bulky in dark blue). Please do not ask me what I did for the decreases I DON’T KNOW

Hey everyone! I'm knitting the Rose City Rollers socks, and I just finished the gusset part. As seen on the picture below, following the first instructions for the decreases, my working yarn should be at the end of the 2nd needle. However, mine is at the end of the 3rd needle. What have I missed?

Knitting a pineapple pillow for my sister for Christmas! When do you all start knitting gifts for Christmas, if you’re giving it as a gift ? Also this is my 2nd attempt. About 15 rows in, started to decrease at row 8. I apparently forgot what a pineapple looks like, it was becoming a triangle 😂😂😂

Does this look too big for a size 46? I don’t currently have a tape measurer (my sister, god bless, did NOT carry on with the family knitting traditions) so i can’t really measure it, but i’d say they’re about 30 cm maybe? Including the decrease over the toe ... oh well it’s the thought that counts

When knitting left-handed, if I’m reading a pattern, do I simply swap the left and right increases and decreases? Is it reasonably intuitive to reverse most patterns?

My mitred cowl. This was a frogged entrelac scarf because it was too short. I wanted to create a new cowl pattern that had a point like a triangle scarf. I really hate knitting flat, so I had to find a way to make that point in the round, so a mitred decrease.

Need help! I’m so bad with gauges. I’m knitting the bubble beanie for my niece. She’s 4 and her head is 19”. Pattern calls for CO of 64 for 21-24” hat. How much should I decrease it?

This is a link of the pattern I’m trying to adjust for a child: https://www.studioknitsf.com/bubble-beanie-hat/

What should be my cast on?

Help! Knitting in the round--how do I keep working after decreases?

I'm currently making the Temperance Hat as my first ever knit-in-the-round pattern. I am using ~24" plastic circulars to make a ~22" diameter hat, so the material is a little bit stretched but fits on the needles. However, I am supposed to decrease the hat--how does that work? If I have decreased down to ~8" diameter, how can I work in the round without leaving a giant hole?

Circular knitting, laddering on decrease

I'm a relatively new knitter, and this is my first circular project. I'm doing the Rikke hat pattern (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rikke-hat) and I'm getting ridiculously large holes from laddering on the k2tog decrease. Any advice on how to fix what I've done so far (about 5 decreases with a round of undecreased purl in between each round of knit decreases) and how to avoid this problem? I've seen a lot on avoiding laddering in other contexts but not during decrease.

Thanks!

Loom knitting & decreases?

I've seen a handful of hats, which are bunched up at the top, but also several which appear to be decreased in some manner. Do you guys have any clue how that's done?
