DROPS Design :

Dear Rukh, as you increase afeter each marker thread, every time you increase, there will be 1 more stitch between 2 marker threads; you first insert 20 marker threads with 3 sts between each marker thread, then increase after each marker thread = 20 sts increased and now there are 4 sts between each marker thread. Happy knitting!

DROPS Design :

Dear Rukh, in size M you have 20 marker threads and increase 1 stitch after each marker thread, just as shown here, you will work 1 knot at each marker thread (the 3 sts for the knot are the stitch with marker + the next 2 sts) - see how to work such a knot over 3 sts here. Happy knitting!

In this DROPS video we show how to work a rib with knit 1, purl 1 on circular needle. Working a rib gives an elastic piece that is great for cuffs and edges. Cast on a number of stitches that is divisible by 2, then put the circular needle “together” and start with knit 1 (the first stitch that was cast on), purl 1, knit 1, purl 1, etc. the entire round (you can also start with purl 1, knit 1, etc.). When the 2nd round starts knit 1, purl 1, knit 1, purl etc. It’s important that all knitted stitches comes above knitted stitches, and all purled stitches come above the purled stitches.
