How to begin a row with a yarn over

Video thumbnail for How to begin a row with a yarn over
In this DROPS video we show how to begin a row with yarn over, this technique is used in the Daydreamer shawl in DROPS 195-17 starts. We have already cast on 13 stitches and knitted 1 row from wrong side. Then we show: ROW 1 (= right side): Make 1 yarn over, knit 1, 1 yarn over and knit the rest of stitches (= 2 stitches increased). ROW 2 (= wrong side): Make 1 yarn over, knit 1, 1 yarn over and knit the rest of stitches (= 2 stitches increased). Work ROWS 1-2 3 more times (4 times in total) = 29 stitches on needle. This shawl is worked in DROPS Lace, but in the video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find the pattern by clicking on the picture below.

How to increase 2 stitches to 4 stitches – back and forth

In this DROPS video we show how to increase 2 stitches to 4 stitches. We show the increases twice and how the increases stitches are worked in the next row. Knit 2 together but do not slip the stitches from the left needle, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 through the back loop of each of the same 2 stitches on the left needle, then slip the stitches off the left needle = 2 stitches have become 4 stitches (yarn over is purled twisted on next row to avoid a hole).

Work A.1 like this: Place 4 stitches on cable needle behind the piece, knit 2, work 3 stitches in each of the 4 stitches on cable needle (work front, back, front loop of each stitch). 8 increased stitches. Work A.2 like this: Place 2 stitches on cable needle in front of piece, work 3 stitches in each of the next 4 stitches (work front, back, front loop of each stitch), knit 2 from cable needle. 8 increased stitches. On the next row work the new stitches in the pattern (knit 2 / purl 2). We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
