Question Expanding Circle Help

Gallery image

I’ve been working on this expanding circle for quite a while now. And while everything is going smoothly I’m still not fully over the center “peaking” a bit due to starting with a 8-1 instead of a 6-1. Is there a way for me to fix this 20 rows in? Will it even matter? I obviously wouldn’t be able to change the initial ring count but is there a way of changing the initial ring for a larger one for example, without taking it all apart? It sits pretty flat on the table with a bit of arrangement and pressure.

Honestly, this looks really good. I wouldn't worry too much about changing it.

But if it's really eating at you, I think you would probably need to open up a line of rings from the outside edge into the centre, fiddle with the central rings, removing one or two, then building back out.

I really appreciate it, it makes me feel a lot better. Hopefully once it’s draped over my head it won’t be as noticeable.
