How to get correct spacing of stitches in round patterns

I've used a piece of elastic, the thin, white stuff.  It isn't perfect, but when you are tired and don't want to do math, it works well enough.

Using a cup as an example.  Cut, or place a mark on the elastic (unstretched) that matches the circumference of the bottom piece. Lay out your stitch marks, like one every 1/4 of an inch.  Then take that elastic and lay it on your stitch line for the side so that the end mark is next the beginning.  The elastic will have stretched a bit to get around the cylinder and the distance between the stitch marks will be evenly spaced.

Which is one heck of a distance between stitches! On the other hand, you don't want so many holes in the base it tears our.

was just an example for the math.

 

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.
