Hei, jeg driver å strikker "last call". Men nå når jeg er kommet til bærestykkeøkning så går det litt i forvirring. Det står "Det er 60 masker mellom maskene med merke i på hvert erme" men jeg får ikke 60 masker uansett hvordan jeg prøver. Jeg får over 60 da jeg følger bærestykkeøknings videoen steg for steg. Er dette en feil i oppskriften? For om jeg får til 60 så blir armene alt for små.

Pattern 216-40 Country Muse I am now on the yoke increase with 284 stitches and 12 cm from sleeve increase start. I already have 48 stitches between the sleeve markers with the 4 A1 stitches on the outside of the markers and stocking stitch over the sleeve. I don’t see why I have to move the markers as they already seem to be in the right place with the correct number of stitches?

Dear Catriona, you should have a total of 50 sts between markers after increases for sleeves: 16 sts increased, 18 sts, 16 sts increased; insert a marker in the first of these 50 sts and in the last of these 50 sts, you have now 48 stitches for the sleeve. Happy knitting!

I am knitting Blue Pebbles baby jumper and am unclear as to where markers are placed after neckband if complere and when needle size is changed. Can someone help please? The tutorial only advises on increasing method. Thanks.

Dear Irene, you change the needle size after working 4cm of rib and knitting 1 row (with increases) and purling 1 row. Here, you will change the needle size. The marker for the start of the row is in mid-back, from where we start to count. Markers are inserted betweeen stitches, not inside them. From the first marker, count 15-21 stitches (depending on size) and insert the next marker. Count 10-14 stitches more from here and insert the next marker, 26-38 stitches, insert the next marker, 10-14 stitches, insert the next marker, there should be 15-21 stitches left. We should have 5 markers: one marks the beginning of the row and the others are used for increases. Happy knitting!
