This would be a simple formula based on your 4” square. Say for instance your square is 12 st x 16 st, this is 30% more stitches than listed gauge. So your cast on would be 30% more stitches. So it would be 136*(1.3)=176.8, round up to even stitch count for 178, or 137*1.3=178.1, round up for odd or 179. Change 1.3 to be This would be a simple formula based on your 4” square.

Change 1.3 to be Place the slit where you want it length wise if you’re tall or short, and make it 30” wide or as wide as you need for it to be comfortable, proceed as pattern specifies stitches for. To place it appropriately, for example as far as width goes: 60”-30”=30”, 30”/2=15” on either side as that makes the start and finish of the slit equidistant from each side . 60”-x”=y”, y”/2=z”, z” is equidistant from each side, z*width gauge is stitches from each side to begin the slit, and x*width gauge is how many stitches to make the slit. Make it a whole number, round up or down to make it what looks like an even number as the pattern is written, here it’s 34, so it would be for example 34*1.3 (the example gauge I’m using here) is 42 stitches. I hope that helps!]]> Misty. This would be a simple formula based on your 4” square. Say for instance your square is 12 st x 16 st, this is 30% more stitches than listed gauge.
