Width Adjustment

For k&w Arrangements with a closed outer edge, the narrowings of both knitting layers must be executed simultaneously in order to keep the edge closed.
With some k&w Arrangements the number of rows knitted upto the narrowing differs in the layer L0 and L1.

	Width Adaptation of Layers via Narrowing of one Layer If the widths of the two knitting layers (L0+L1) differ, the wider knitting layer is adapted to the narrower knitting layer.
	Width Adjustment of Layers via Widening of one Layer If the widths of the two knitting layers (L0+L1) differ, the narrower knitting layer is adapted to the wider knitting layer.

Meaning

Width Adaptation of Layers via Narrowing of one Layer

If the widths of the two knitting layers (L0+L1) differ, the wider knitting layer is adapted to the narrower knitting layer.

Width Adjustment of Layers via Widening of one Layer

If the widths of the two knitting layers (L0+L1) differ, the narrower knitting layer is adapted to the wider knitting layer.

The shape changes.

Examples without width adjustment (not necessary):
k&w Arrangement with opening, narrowing on outer edge	In both body elements, 2 complete rows (L0+L1) are knit before the first narrowing. Narrowing is carried out on both layers.
	Narrowing stepping before inserting the k&w Arrangement.
	Narrowing stepping after inserting the k&w Arrangement. Both layers (L0+L1) are narrowed at the same time, as both layers have been worked through equally often before the narrowing permission.
k&w Arrangement with narrowings in the V neck	In the k&w Arrangement only the layer L0 in the V-neck is narrowed.
	Narrowing stepping before inserting the k&w Arrangement.
	Narrowing stepping after inserting the k&w Arrangement. Only layer L0 is narrowed, and therefore no width adjustment is necessary.

Examples with width adjustment:
k&w Arrangement with opening, narrowing on outer edge	In the left body piece, a complete row (1.) is knit before the first narrowing, while in the right body piece only layer L1 (2.) is knit. The narrowing on the right is only carried out on layer L1. Layer L0 is not narrowed.
	Narrowing stepping before inserting the k&w Arrangement.
	Narrowing stepping after inserting the k&w Arrangement with width adjustment. The wider layer L0 is adjusted to the narrower layer L1.
	In comparison: Narrowing stepping after inserting the k&w Arrangement without width adjustment. : Not knittable!
