How Far To Knit Today

Today you will continue knitting a portion of the total body length in the manner you began on day 8. You will still be knitting one tenth of your total body length but most likely you’ll run into the spot where you’ll need to start knitting your bottom edge finishing. Below there are a few different options to consider for your edge finoshing.

You will be knitting the same amount that you knit yesterday but if you don’t remember how much that is, use this equation:

_______total desired body length x 0.10 = _______inches to knit today
