How to increase by knitting around the strand between 2 stitches

Keywords: jacket, raglan, sweater,

In this DROPS video we show how to increases 3 stitches by knitting around the strand between 2 stitches, between the strand in the round you are working on and around the strand 2 and 3 rounds down. We increases both before and after the markers. Increase after a marker like this: Knit 1 around strand between stitch with marker and next stitch (= 1 round down), knit 1 around strand between stitch with marker and next stitch 2 rounds down (make sure to pull the strand long enough not to tighten vertically), knit 1 around strand between stitch with marker and next stitch 3 rounds down (make sure to pull the strand long enough not to tighten vertically). 1 stitch has been worked on each of the last 3 rounds (= 3 stitches increased). Increase before a marker like this: Work until stitch with marker, knit 1 around strand before stitch with marker 3 rounds down (make sure to pull the strand long enough not to tighten vertically), knit 1 around strand before stitch with marker and 2 rounds down (make sure not to pull the strand long enough not to tighten vertically), knit 1 around strand before stitch with marker on previous round. 1 stitch has been worked on each of the last 3 rounds (= 3 stitches increased). We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern by clicking on the pictures below.

Dear Carol, could you specify the pattern number of the poncho you are working?
