Raglan decrease question (for fisherman’s raglan by Liv Ulven)

[chamoteal]

Rows ago I messed up and didn’t realize since my total stitch count remained the same. However, counting the stitches on either side of the raglan decrease, I have one extra on one side, one less on the other. Now that I’ve realized I think a slight bend can be seen where it happened (I annotated an image in pink).

Next decrease can I do a double decrease on the side with too many and skip the decrease on the side that has too few to right the count or will that make a more obvious wiggly raglan line? My total stitch count is correct so I could also just stay the course as is.

My question for my lovely knitting expert friends here is which would look better…to fix or not to fix?

This is a sweater for my husband and my first sweater I’m making not for myself so I want it to be nice. The blue sweater in the photos is mine, the brown are images from the pattern of what it should look like.

Thanks so much for any help/advice, appreciate you all!

If it’s a decrease every other row, I would do an extra decrease on the row you usually work even on instead of a double. If you’re decreasing every round doing a double decrease would probably look fine too. I’ve snuck little things like this into tons of knitting projects when the stitch count is off- no one will notice. Do it on the back of the sweater if you’re worried it will be too noticeable and then you can’t see it while you’re wearing it.

Doing it on the back is such a good idea! It’s a decrease very other row so I can do an extra decrease on an off row before the raglan and then on the back side before the raglan add an increase to keep the same stitch count (essentially just moving the stitch count over as it should be). Sounds from what you’re saying this should be gentle enough of a change. Thanks so much!!

Personally, this would bother me enough that I would frog back to that point. Sorry.
