The answer would depend on how wide you want your product to be. If you are using small diameter needles, you will need more stitches to work with than if you were using large needles. I normally use about 35 stitches to try out a pattern with.

Multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50... Multiples of 10 are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100... The pattern is that every other multiple of 5 is also a multiple of 10.
Look at the table of 9s fact can you think of another number pattern in the multiples of 9?
The word "another" in the question implies that you already have one pattern in mind. But you have chosen not to share that information. As a result I do not know if the pattern that I can think of is really another pattern or is simply the one you already know of. Consequently, there is way to answer the question in a sensible way.
What is the pattern that multiples of 11 follow?
The only stable pattern is that the difference between the sum of all the digits in odd locations and the sum of all digits in even locations is a multiple of 11.For example, 5678*11 = 62458Sum of odd locations = 6 + 4 + 8 = 18Sum of even locations = 2 + 5 = 7Difference = 18 - 7 = 11 which is a multiple of 11.

What does the abbreviation M mean in a knitting pattern?
M means 'marker'. This is normally a small circle of plastic or metal or contrast yarn (I use paper clips or safety pins) hooked on the needle between specific stitches. For example, if you were knitting a lace pattern and wanted to 'mark' each pattern repeat or to 'mark' where a thumb will be knit on a glove or mitten. PM means 'pass marker' by moving the marker from one needle to the other when you get to it after knitting the stitches before it.

Must know how much is here before knitting project is begun. Who will solve a math problem about the length of a ball of yarn?
The number of balls of wool and the ply to use is usually given in the knitting pattern. A test swatch is a good way to ensure there are the same stitches and rows as stated in the knitting pattern. When I was knitting (many years ago) balls (skeins) of wool was given in ounces!
You are knitting a hat in the rownd K2 P2 you have cast on 88 stiches and you need to know how to decrease evenly Help?
I place stitch markers at even locations around the hat and start by knitting together the purl stitches at that location and either knitting or purling together at the same location, whenever a decrease is required. (check your pattern... if you are decreasing by four stitches a round, then place four stitch markers)
What is the knitting pattern consisting of alternate knit and purl stitches?
rib Yeah this is a ribbing stitch. After you knit a few rows it should be a very clean and neat looking pattern of purls and knits.
Can you use round needles in place of double pointed needles of the same size?
Note: round needles are almost always called circular knitting needles. In some cases, circular needles will work just as well as double pointed needles. But more often than not, only double pointed needles will work. Why? With double pointed needles, one can knit with as few stitches as they want. This makes them ideal for knitting the tops of hats, which are decreased to a very few number of stitches, and other items where few stitches are knitted. However, if one is knitting with a large number of stitches, then circular needles will work fine, maybe even better, but circular needles have a "minimum stitch limit." Thus, they only work if the pattern works with lots of stitches. So in order to figure out whether circular knitting needles will work for your pattern, read through the instructions, and determine the point at which there will be the least number of stitches on the double pointed needles. Try to estimate the lowest number of stitches that will work comfortably on the circular needles, and decide if the stitches in the pattern will fit on the circular needles.
What does sl1 mean in knitting?
In knitting, sl1 means to slip one stitch. To do this simply slip the stitch from the left hand needle to the right without knitting it. Stitches can either be slipped purlwise or knitwise. If slipped purlwise, the stitch will not twist but if slipped knitwise it will twist. Therefore, if the pattern does not specify which way to slip the stitch, it is best to slip purlwise. See the related link for a diagram showing how to slip stitches.
In knitting an afghan how do you increase afghan by half or double without losing pattern?
Try casting on twice as many stitches. Be sure to count the number of stitches it takes to make a full pattern and see that your total number of stitches is evenly divisible by that number of stitches per pattern. In fact, I sometimes do the math before I take the time to cast on all those stitches. (Didn't they tell us in elementary school that we really would need to know arithmetic? LOL!) And, of course, you will take into account any of the stitches which create a border.
