How to increase in English rib by making several stitches in 1 stitch

In this DROPS video we show how to work the increase in English rib by making several stitches in 1 stitch, and how to work the next round. This technique is used in the jumper in DROPS 194-13. NB! Even if our sample is worked back and forth, all rows have been worked from RS.

On 1st round in the video, we knit a little bit of the 3. Round explanation of the English rib, both before and after the increase.

Increase like this: Work 5 stitches in the stitch and the yarn over as follows: * Knit the yarn over and stitch together, but wait with slipping the stitch and yarn over off the needle, make 1 yarn over the right needle *, knit from * - * a total of 2 times and knit the stitch and yarn over 1 more time = 5 stitches (= 4 stitches increased).

On next round (= 2nd round of explanation of English rib), the increased works into the English rib pattern. There is no yarn over in the increase, so the stitch that is to be worked with the yarn over is knit without yarn over.

Next round work as 3rd round of English rib.

In this video we use the yarn DROPS Snow.

Goedemiddag, ik brei het vest 216.14 . Ie toer van het meerere snap ik. Bij de terugnaald zie ik dat de in de vijf gemeerderde steken dat er 2 steken averecht worden gebreid… terwijl bij het tel patroon staat dat de steken recht gebreid moeten worden..\r\nVierkantje met - erin recht op de verkeerde kant? \r\nHellp … wat is het nu?\r\nVriendelijk groet Elly

DROPS Design :

Dag Elly,

De omslagen brei je recht op de verkeerde kant (en averecht op de goede kant). Dat zijn de streepjes links en rechts boven de steek waar je op de vorige naald aan de goede kant de 5 steken in 1 steek hebt gebreid.

E poi sempre nel secondo giro prima e dopo gli aumenti prende le due maglie assieme di rovescio, cosa che nel modell Scotch mist non viene fatto... Inoltre questa frase in italiano non ha senso “ in modo che la maglia che dev'essere lavorata con il gettato sia lavorata senza il gettato.”. Grazie ☺️

Ciao io non capisco come fare il secondo ferro dopo gli aumenti. Io sto lavorando a Scotch Mist. Nel video fa un gettato e prende il primo aumento a rovescio senza lavorarlo, sul secondo aumento fa un rovescio, il terzo di nuovo un gettato e rovescio non lavorato, quarto aumento fa un rovescio e il quinto gettato con rovescio senza lavorarlo. Ma nel lavoro Scotch Mist non ci sono rovesci, facciamo sempre gettato con rovescio non lavorato e due punti insieme a dritto. Non capisco...

Buongiorno Cristina, ci può spiegare esattamente a quale punto del modello Scotch Mist fa riferimento? Può anche scrivere direttamente nel modello! Buon lavoro!

How to increase and mark the increase stitches with stitch markers in English rib

In this DROPS video we show how to increase and mark the increase stitches with different colors, the same way we do in the «Cheers to Lift» jumper in DROPS 212-28. INCREASE AS FOLLOWS IN THE STITCHES WITH PURPLE MARKERS: Work 3 stitches in the stitch and yarn over and move the marker as follows: Knit together the yarn over and stitch, move the purple marker to this stitch (i.e. stitch on right needle), but do not slip the stitch and yarn-over off the left needle, make 1 yarn over the right needle and knit together the stitch and yarn over 1 more time = 3 stitches (= 2 stitches increased). The marker sits in the first increased stitch (= knitted stitch). The next time you increase, work in the stitch with the marker. INCREASE AS FOLLOWS IN THE STITCHES WITH GREEN MARKERS: Work 3 stitches in the stitch and yarn over and move the marker as follows: Knit together the yarn over and stitch, but do not slip the stitch and yarn-over off the left needle, make 1 yarn over the right needle and knit together the stitch and yarn over 1 more time and move the green marker to this stitch = 3 stitches (= 2 stitches increased). The marker sits in the last increased stitch (= knitted stitch). The next time you increase, work in the stitch with the marker. On the next round work the 3 stitches into the English rib pattern as follows: Make 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl, purl the yarn over, make 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl. This jumper is worked in DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk and DROPS Glitter, but in the video we use DROPS Snow. You must read a pattern with this description to be able to follow this video properly.

How to knit in stitch below and how to increase 4 stitches in 1 stitch

In this DROPS video we show how to knit 1 stitch below next stitch and how to increase 4 stitches in 1 stitch. These charts are taken from DROPS 201-40, but the same technique is used in many other patterns. We start the video by showing how we work chart A.1 and then especially how we knit 1 stitch below next stitch and name it an English rib stitch. We show 1st round of A.1 4 times. On 2nd round of diagram purl all sts. When we work A.2 we show how to knit 5 stitches in the English rib stitch as follows: Knit 1, but wait to slip the stitch off the needle, * make 1 yarn over on right needle, knit same stitch without slipping the stitch off left needle *, work from *-* 2 times in total, then drop this stitch off left needle = 5 stitches (i.e. 4 stitches increased). Then we show how chart A.3 is worked. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. This yarn is quite thick, but if you knit with a thinner yarn the increase in the English rib stitch will be better. You must read the pattern/chart explanation and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern with this technique by clicking on one of the pictures below.
