Row Multiple
Multiple of 6 rows plus 2
A row multiple is the number of rows needed to complete one vertical repeat of a stitch pattern. It’s how often the pattern repeats as you knit up the fabric.
For example:
A stitch pattern with a row multiple of 4 means the pattern repeats every 4 rows. To keep the design consistent, you’ll work in groups of 4 rows.
Sometimes, patterns include extra rows for balance or symmetry. For instance, if it says "Row multiple of 4 + 2," you’ll repeat the 4-row pattern and then add 2 more rows to finish the design.
Knowing the row multiple is key when planning the height of your project or adding stitch patterns.
Row multiples are use when knitting many stitch patterns including cables.
