Mijung, a fellow machine knitter, is experimenting with new design concepts for her machine knitting. She's working with Knit It Now Perfect patterns, but she wants to give them a designer spin.
I suggested she utilize the Knit it Now tools to calculate the shaping for this asymmetric v-neck sweater she had in mind, rather than performing a bunch of math or using design software.

We analyzed the measurements she wants on the image above.
To calculate the PINK edge shaping (3" x 4"), she'll use:
Knit it Now Magic Formula Tool
To calculate the YELLOW edge shaping (11" x 4") , she'll use:
Knit it Now Slope Tool
Why different tools?
The math for the Pink and Yellow shapes is a bit different.
When you are working less stitches than rows use the Magic Formula Tool (Pink Shape)
When you are working more stitches than rows use the Slope Tool (Yellow Shape)

Do you use DesignaKnit?
