How to increase to the sleeve caps in DROPS 212-14

In this DROPS video, we show how to increase after Increasing Tip-2 to the sleeve caps of the "Cloud Fluff" sweater in DROPS 212-14. We have a smaller number of stitches than what the patterns says. We show Increase tip-2 with the 1st and 2nd increases for the sleeve caps, how we move the markers and how to work the next round (we do not show how the front and back pieces are worked). INCREASE TIP-2, INCREASE 1 ON SLEEVE CAP IS WORKED AS FOLLOWS: Work 3 stitches in the stitch and yarn-over and move the marker as follows: Purl together the yarn-over and stitch, insert 1 marker in 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 purl together the stitch and yarn-over 1 more time = 3 stitches (= 2 stitches increased). The marker sits in the first increased stitch (= purled stitch). The next increase is worked in the stitch with the marker. INCREASE TIP-2, INCREASE 2 ON SLEEVE CAP WORKED AS FOLLOWS: Work 3 stitches in the stitch and yarn over and move the marker as follows: Purl together the yarn over and stitch, but wait with slipping the stitch and yarn over off the left needle, make 1 yarn over the right needle, purl together the stitch and yarn-over 1 more time and insert the marker in this stitch = 3 stitches (= 2 stitches increased). The marker sits in the last increased stitch (= purled stitch). The next increase is worked in the stitch with the marker. On the next round work the 3 stitches as follows: Make 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl, knit the yarn over, make 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl. This sweater is worked in DROPS Sky and DROPS Kid-Silk but in the video we work with DROPS Snow. You must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly.

Bonjour Mme Augendre, on ne diminue pas lorsque l'on tricote les manches, elles se font toutes droites à partir des mailles mises en attente jusqu'à ce qu'on les rabatte. Bon tricot!

In this DROPS video we show how we increase after Increase tip-1 to the shoulders in «Cloud Fluff» sweater in DROPS 212-14. We have cast on a less no of stitches than it says in the pattern and we have already increased 3 times. We only show Increase tip-1 over the shoulders, both how it is worked and the next round (we don’t show how to work the back and front piece). INCREASE TIP-1: Work 3 stitches in the stitch and yarn-over with the markers. Purl 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 purl together the stitch and yarn-over 1 more time = 3 stitches (= 2 stitches increased = a total of 8 stitches increased). On the next round work the 3 stitches as follows: Make 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl, knit the yarn over, make 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl.

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 = 2⅜"-2¾" 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:

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 = 10⅝" from the shoulder (size M).
