How to work saddle shoulder increase back and forth

Keywords: circular needle, jacket, jumper, saddle shoulder, top,

In this DROPS video we show how to work saddle shoulder increase back and forth, both from right side and wrong side. We have put 4 markers in the piece and it increases like this:

BEFORE MARKER (applies from right side):
The stitch is twisted towards the right.
Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from behind and knit stitch in front loop.
AFTER MARKER:
The stitch is twisted towards the left.
Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from front and knit stitch in back loop.

BEFORE MARKER (applies from wrong side):
The stitch is twisted towards the right.
Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from front and purl stitch in back loop.
AFTER MARKER:
The stitch is twisted towards the left.
Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from behind and purl stitch in front loop.
We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.

Blir bara mer och mer konfunderad. Sticka Piece of sky.nr 230-50. Ska man öka de förkortade varven både före och efter markör och i mell vid de 2 maskorna. I så fall blir det 4 ökningar / varv. Har inte gjort det utan bara före och efter markören 1 och 4 och då har jag 52 maskor på det förkortade varvet, stämmer detta.

Hei Susann. Når du strikker over første skulder øker du kun ved 1. og 4. merke, på hver pinne, men forskjellig fra retten og vrangen (les forklaringen i oppskriften). mvh DROPS Design

Thanks for reply but my question was about how 12 increase are acheived on each row. That means 3 increases per marker. Any advice? Thanks

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Irene, you don't increase 12 stitches on each increase row, you increase only 4 sts for the saddle shoulders a total of 12 times on every row = for the next 12 rows. Happy knitting!

I am knitting Blue Pebbles jumper and have set up markers ready to increase before and after these but am confused as to how I am supposed to increase 'a total of 12 times on every row'. I must be missing something so help appreciated! Thanks.

Dear Irene, you will increase from the right side as well as from the wrong side; see INCREASE TIP-1 to know how to increase from the right side and INCREASE TIP-2 to know how to increase from the wrong side. Happy knitting!

Naar mijn idee krijg je bij zadelschouders een vrij lage achterkant .of zie ik dat verkeerd

Dag Brieijans,

De zadelschouder beïnvloedt niet de hoogte van de achterkant, maar deze schouder heeft vooral te maken met hoe de steken verdeeld zijn op het lijf en de mouwen, dus hoe de raglanlijn loopt.
