How to make a garter tab that doesn’t “hump”: Knit proportionally fewer rows and pick up stitches both in the garter ridges and between them.

TCKAL cast-on post: #689

Mods

  • used provisional CO for the garter tab and only knit 6 r while still picking up 5 st,
  • while knitting flat slipped both first and last st on the WS rows and knit them on the RS,
  • joined in the round after first chart repeat in Section Four, added remaining 6 pairs of increases at centre back spread out through the second half of this section and the next two sections,
  • changed to larger needles at start of Section Six,
  • ran out of C3 two rows before end of Section Six so added 2 more stripes to Section Seven,
  • changed to even larger needles at start of Section Eight,
  • knit 4 more rows in Section Nine (200 st),
  • Section Ten knit 1 r + 8 r p1k2 rib,
  • elastic BO in pattern.
