How to work different increases

Keywords: chart, jumper, lace,

In this DROPS video we show how we work different increases used in the DROPS 210-21 jumper «Cloud Dancer» and in chart A.2.

1st chart icon marked with pink worked like this: Purl 2 together, pick up the strand before the next stitch and place it on the left needle, (knit 1, 1 yarn over and knit 1) in this strand (= 2 stitches increased).

2nd chart icon marked with pink worked like this: Pick up the strand before the next stitch and place it on the left needle, (knit 1, 1 yarn over and knit 1) in this strand, then purl the next 2 stitches together (= 2 stitches increased).

3rd chart icon marked with pink worked like this: Make 1 yarn over, then purl the next 2 stitches together.

4th chart icon marked with pink worked like this: Purl 2 together, make 1 yarn over

This jumper is worked in DROPS Air, but in the video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find the pattern by clicking on the picture below.

It is encouraging to knit when we can access freely your patterns, your tutorial videos and have the possibility to get help. Thank you very much. Now with the confident that I have, I ordered the Drop yarn for DROPS 218-28. So excited to get started.! Pamela

I just want to thank you or your ge nerosity to the community - not only with the countless fashion-forward & easy to understand patterns you offer so freely on your site, but what I consider to be by far the best tutorials available anywhere. Yours are among the designs that made knitting/crochet "cool" to learn. Learning from your site helped me through a 3 year catastophic illness. Now when pople see my work & ask to learn, I send them to your site. In gratitude, Maribelle
