Increase & decrease (even spacing)

Spread increases or decreases evenly with a visual row map and a copyable pattern line.

Assumes one single crochet per stitch except where noted (2 sc in one st, or sc2tog). If your pattern uses hdc/dc or front-loop-only, translate the counts—spacing stays the same.
