How to start working a pouffe-sleeve, from sleeve cap and top down

In this DROPS video we show how to start working back and forth a pouffe-sleeve from the sleeve cap and top down, like in DROPS 223-1. Remember to read a pattern using this technique on how many stitches you should cast on, how many increases in first row, how many times it`s working 2 stitches in 1 stitch (in front and in back loop) and how you increases in each sides before you can work around.

In this video we have cast on 10 stitches, then we knit from RS while increase 5 stitches (evenly). Then we purl 1 row from WS and next row from RS we increase by knit 2 stitches in each stitch (except the first and last stitch).
Then work stocking stitch back and forth to sleeve cap and cast at the same time on new stitches at the end of every row in each side. Remember to read the pattern for how many stitches and times. When you have the right number of stitches and measurement put piece together and continue in the round.

We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
