How to knit A.1 and increase to raglan in DROPS 175-1

Video thumbnail for How to knit A.1 and increase to raglan in DROPS 175-1
In this DROPS video we show you how to work after chart A.1 while increase to raglan to the Wind Down jumper in DROPS 175-1. We have already cast on up and knitted 1 ridge (we have a smaller number of stitches than it says in the pattern, but we follow the raglan increases as if we had work after size S. Marking threads make it easier for you to see where we are in the pattern).

We show the entire 1st round (A.1 and without increase), the entire 2nd round (with increase before and after chart A.1 and how we work to get holes), the entire 3rd round (where the increases / yarn over are work twisted to prevent holes and A.1).

This jumper is knitted in DROPS Merino Extra Fine, but in the video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow.

Är det alltså både ökningar för raglan, så som visas i videon, vid varje övergång mellan fram- och bakstycke och A1 SAMT ökningar därutöver som då är olika för ärmar ena sidan och fram- och bakstycke å den andra? \r\nDvs så att man ökar för raglan på VARJE varv men de andra ökningarna enligt instruktionen (t ex varje varv 0 ggr och sen 25 ggr på fram- o bakstycke om man stickar M, och vartannat varv 23 ggr för ärmarna)? Mkt svårt att förstå.

I am not clear about the increase tip in the instructions that says "Work until there is 1 stitch left before the marker thread. Work 1 yarn over, knit 2 and work 1 yarn over." Does this mean before and after each A.1 I am to increase 2 stitches - for a total of 8 stitches per round? Also why does it say 1 stitch before the marker thread but then knit 2 - where do I knit 2 when I am 1 stitch before the marker thread? Thank you.

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Hemstreet, the INCREASE-TIP in pattern applies to increases on the sides not to the raglan increases. For raglan increase with a YO before and/or after A.1 (see increases for your size, you increase at a different rythm on body and sleeves). Happy knitting!

Hi. In the notes for the A.1 video for pattern 175-1, you show the 1st round without increase. I am not sure where to start increasing. Should the increases start in the round that starts A.1? Thank you.

I would like to knit this pattern. I am having trouble understanding the video as she is going to too fast when she is knitting the one yarn over between two stitches segment. I throw with my right hand and it is making it impossible for me to decipher. Can the video be slowed somehow?

Dear Lori, do not hesitate to click on the "pause" button to stop video and show it step by step. Remember to read the pattern and look at the diagrams at the same time watching the video. Happy knitting!

This is the first time I have knitted a pattern from the neck down, I am trying to follow the video to show how to increase before the A1 pattern. The video is too fast and the demonstrator knits differently from me holding the wool in her left hand. Please could you let me know if there is a slow motion video. thanks Clare PS I would love to do this pattern but may need to give up.

How to knit up stitches around an armhole, for a sleeve with split

In this DROPS video, we demonstrate how to knit up stitches around an armhole for a split-sleeve. We begin by showing you how to use a crochet hook to knit up stitches and transfer them onto a knitting needle. Then, we continue by showing you how to work with the stitches using knitting needles. Start at the bottom of the armhole (not directly under the sleeve) and knit up the number of stitches specified in your pattern, going as far as the other side of the armhole. Knit up the stitches within one stitch, which is often a garter stitch. Turn and work back, continuing back and forth to the measurement specified in your pattern, or use short rows for a better fit. Once completed, the sleeve is joined and worked in the round. Refer to your pattern for details on measurements, decreases, and the ribbed cuff. In this video, we demonstrate only 6–7 cm of the sleeve. Finally, sew together the hole under the sleeve. To make the seam and sewing easier to see, we use a contrasting color in the video. The yarn featured in this video is DROPS Air. This technique can be used in several patterns – which you can find by clicking on the pictures below:

Sew in the buttons. Sew the bands together mid-back, then sew the bands to the neckline, stretching the bands a little to sew it on.

How to work the jacket in DROPS 248-5 – Part 3

In this DROPS video we show a bit of how the Sand Diamond Cardigan is worked. We use the stitch numbers for size M. We have already worked the bands with an I-cord edge, some of chart A.1, A.2, A.3 and A.4 (see video Part 1) and worked YOKE until the part divide for body and sleeves. (see video Part 2). We start the video by working the row where we divide the bodies and sleeves (from right side). Read under DIVIDE FOR BODY AND SLEEVES – ALL SIZES in the pattern. In size M there should then be 235 stitches for the body and 56 stitches for each sleeve. Then it is working from wrong side and work 2nd row in the charts as follows: Work 7 band stitches as before, A.6, A.3 until there are 12 stitches left, A.5 and 7 band stitches as before. * Work 7 band stitches as before, A.5, A.3 until there are 13 stitches left, A.6 and 7 band stitches as before. Work the diagrams 1 time in height. Continue with 7 band stitches as before, A.7, A.3 until there are 18 stitches left, A.8 and 7 band stitches as before. Work the diagrams 1 time in height *. Work from *-* until the body have the specified length (18 cm in size M), finishing after a complete repeat of A.3 in height. Remember the buttonholes. Then change the needle, work a rib, increase stitches and work the 7 band stitches on each side are worked as before, read more in the pattern.

How to work the jacket in DROPS 248-5 – Part 2

In this DROPS video we show a bit of how the Sand Diamond Cardigan is worked. We use the stitch numbers for size M. We have already worked the bands with an I-cord edge, worked 24 rows of chart A.1 and worked charts A.2, A.3 and A.4 two times in height (see video Part 1). When A.2, A.3 and A.4 have been worked two time in height, you will work 2 more repeat of A.3 between A.2 and A.4 (= 4 reports of A.3). When A.1 has been worked 1 time in height, the increases towards mid-front are finished, and except size S, continue increasing for raglan in each transition between body and sleeves. Read under the PATTERN and under the size you knit how to work the next row (we use stitch markers between the charts to get a better overview). Remember BUTTONHOLES. When A.2, A.3 and A.4 have been worked 1 more time in height, all the increases are finished and there are now 317 stitches on the needle and the work measures approx. 27 cm from the shoulder (size M). This jacket is worked in DROPS Daisy, but in the video, we use DROPS Cotton Merino color no. 30. You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly.
