Picking Up Stitches Evenly

Sometimes it’s challenging to pick up a specific number of stitches over a span of work. If you have issues with having too many or too few stitches, try this. Fold the side where you are to pick up the stitches in half and mark the fold, then fold the work in half again and mark the two resulting folds. Now your work is divided into 4 even sections. Divide the number of stitches to pick up by 4 and pick up that number in each section.
