European yoke with raglan-increases, sleeves, front & back and cast on new stiches - Part 4

In this DROPS video, we show you how to knit an European yoke with raglan-increases, both sleeves, front and back piece increases and cast on new stitches. We increase on both sides of all the markers = 8 increases on the round, read INCREASE TIP-1 below, and how to cast on new stitches under each sleeve. We have already worked the back piece, shoulders/front pieces and knitted together the back and front pieces (see videos below).

Work as follows:
ROUND 1: Knit all stitches (we only show the beginning and end of this round).

ROUND 2: Knit until there are 2 stitches left before the first marker, increase towards the right, knit 2, move the marker onto the right needle, increase towards the left, knit across the sleeve-stitches, increase towards the right, move the marker onto the right needle, knit 2, increase towards the left, knit until there are 2 stitches left before the next marker, increase towards the right, knit 2, move the marker onto the right needle, increase towards the left, knit across the sleeve-stitches, increase towards the right, move the marker onto the right needle, knit 2, increase towards the left, knit to end of round (= 1 stitch increased on each side of 2 stitches in each transition between body and sleeves = a total of 8 increased stitches).

Repeat these 2 rounds the stated number of times in your pattern. The piece now measures X cm measured down the middle of the sleeve, from where stitches were knitted up, when the sweater is folded double at the shoulder. The piece measures X cm outermost along the armhole. Work to the first marker (= transition between front piece and left shoulder). Now divide the yoke for the body and sleeves, casting on stitches under both sleeves. Follow your pattern for how many stitches are placed on a thread, how many stitches are cast on and how you continue the body.

INCREASE TIP-1:
INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE LEFT – from right side: Use the left needle to pick up the front strand between 2 stitches from the previous row, knit through the back loop.
INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE RIGHT – from right side: Use the left needle to pick up the back strand between 2 stitches from the previous row, knit through the front loop.

Yarn used: DROPS Andes.

European yoke with raglan-increases. Part 1 – Back piece

In this DROPS video, we show you how to work a back piece with European yoke and how to increase stitches for the shoulders. We have already cast on 19 stitches (using 2 needles to start with rather than a circular needle). Read below to find out how to work the increases (INCREASE TIP-1 & INCREASE TIP-2). We show 4 rows. ROW 1 (wrong side): Purl. ROW 2 (right side): Read INCREASE TIP-1. Knit 3, increase 1 stitch towards the left, knit until there are 3 stitches left on the row, increase 1 stitch towards the right, knit. 3.ROW 3 (wrong side): Read INCREASE TIP-2. Purl 3, increase 1 stitch towards the left, purl until there are 3 stitches left on the row, increase 1 stitch towards the right, purl 3. AFTER ROW 3: Work ROWS 2 and 3 a total of 7 times. Cut the strand. Place the stitches on a stitch holder. INCREASE TIP-1: INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE LEFT – from right side: Use the left needle to pick up the front strand between 2 stitches from the previous row, knit through from the back. INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE RIGHT – from right side: Use the left needle to pick up the back strand between 2 stitches from the previous row, knit through from the front. INCREASE TIP-2: INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE LEFT – from wrong side: Use the left needle to pick up the back strand between 2 stitches from the previous row, purl through from the front. INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE RIGHT – from wrong side: Use the left needle to pick up the front strand between 2 stitches from the previous row, purl through from the back. Yarn used: DROPS Andes.

European yoke with raglan-increases. Part 2 – Shoulders

In this DROPS video, we knit up stitches along the back shoulders for the front shoulders. This is for a garment with European yoke. We have already worked the back piece (see video below). We show you how to knit up 1 edge stitch + 14 stitches along the back right shoulder, then you continue with stockinette stitch. When the piece measures 7 cm= 2¾" stitches are increased for the neckline, read INCREASE TIP-1 TOWARDS THE RIGHT below. We show 2 increases. At the end of the last row, we decrease the last stitch (the edge stitch). The right shoulder stitches are then placed on a stitch holder. The left front shoulder is knitted up and worked in the same way but in reverse (read description in your pattern). INCREASE TIP-1: INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE LEFT – from right side: Use the left needle to pick up the front strand between 2 stitches from the previous row, knit through the back loop. INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE RIGHT – from right side: Use the left needle to pick up the back strand between 2 stitches from the previous row, knit through the front loop. Yarn used: DROPS Andes.
