Looking for a yarn?
Increase – with yo (yarn over)
In the video we show 2 times how you increase 1 stitch by making a yarn over (yo)
Halfway through the video we have turned the work and show you how to work the yo in front or back loop depending if you prefer a larger or smaller hole. When working the back loop the stitch becomes twisted and this way the hole becomes a bit smaller.

Our videos do not have sound. We are a worldwide company and our videos are watched by people speaking endless of different languages and many do not understand English. So since there is not a given language for us to use, we instead have written instructions to accompany the video, and then there is no sound to disturb while watching.

1) Wat wordt er precies bedoeld met ‘meerder 1 steek aan de binnenkant van de laatste twee steken’? Wordt er bedoeld TUSSEN de 2 laatste steken (dus vlak voor de ribbelsteek) of VOOR de 2 laatste steken (dus een omslag, een steek en daarna de ribbelsteek)? 2) Gebeurt de meerdering voor het armsgat ook met een omslag?

Dag Faes,
Is het mogelijk om je vraag te plaatsten bij het patroon dat je aan het maken bent? We kunnen je dan hopelijk beter helpen.

In the winter heart pattern. On the chart it shows yarn overs at the end of the repeat and then at the start of the next row. I don't understand how this wouldn't make a massive hole at the beginning of the round...even if you knit it twisted.

Dear Mrs Hayley, this should work fine - just don't forget to place the increase exactly as shown in the diagram - and make sure the yarn overs are not too lose to avoid large holes. Happy knitting!

I am making the wishing well sweater. How can I make the holes visible? The pattern says that between the pattern rows I have to make a knit row,wich is fine,but if I make the knit row similarly as in your video,than it does not work, the holes go away. I think this happens because I use circular needles and I dont work on the purl side as you in the video.

Dear Susy, there are two increase types. The one after the rib, in the next round, you purl the yarn overs twisted. When working the yoke with holes, you knit the yarn overs normally, not twisted. That way the holes should be visible. Happy knitting!

Hello, I don't seem to be getting audio with these tutorials.... ?? Thanks

Dear Sharon, these videos are used for knitters all over the world, changing the subtitles, since recording audios in all languages for every video would be very difficult. In order not to confuse knitters, we have decided to remove the audio, so that they don't hear them in a different language than it's written. Happy knitting!

I am working on Drops 20-15 jacket. Says to put market two stitches in and yo increase before and after. But that marker stays in stitc, right, so how do you keep track of that spot as you move to new rows? I've only placed marker between stitches before and increased on either side.
24.11.2021 - 16:21DROPS Design :
Dear Mrs Matheny, correct the marker should be inserted in the stitch (not between stitch) and should always in the same stitch, ie after 1st increase, it will be the 3rd stitch on needle, after 2nd increase the 4th stitch and so on, just move the marker forwards as you go - it's the dotted line on the front piece in the chart. Happy knitting!

Having trouble with 217-34 yoke. Do not understand counting for doing yarn over increase. 132 stitches, 22 repeats so between every 6th and 7th stitch?? A2 pattern... what does 3 sts on first round mean? Very confusing and absolutely stuck. Help please
01.01.2021 - 11:56DROPS Design :
Dear Mrs Bretag, in size M work as follows: *A.1 ('= 3 sts), A.2 (= 3 sts)*, repeat from *-* a total of 22 times (= 22 x 6 = 132 sts). Increase in each A.2 as shown in diagram: on first round you will increase 1 stitch in every A.2 for example (= there are 4 sts in each A.2 after the first row has been worked). A.1 should be always lined up - using markers between diagrams can help you to check number of sts in each diagram on each row. Happy knitting!

Start knitting from the center and out
Several of our most popular patterns (example 146-2, 148-1, 126-1, 150-11) starts in the center of the piece with a few stitches and double pointed needles. It's a bit tricky to get started but gets easier and easier as you increase. Make sure to use markers to show where the increases are made. Keep increasing and work your way out. As the piece grows you continue with a longer and longer circular needle to fit all stitches. In this DROPS Video we show an example from pattern 146-2 on how to do so. REMEMBER - you will also need to read the pattern to be able to follow. To see a pattern with this technique, go to: DROPS 146-2
