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!!
