How to work European shoulder with increases to the armholes – Front pieces

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up stitches along the left “shoulders seam” on the backpiece and how to work the left front piece. We show how to increase to the neck after the first 3 stitches from the right side. Then work back and forth and increase to the neck to the correct number of stitches and measurements in the pattern. Cut the thread and place the stitches on a thread/stitch holder. Then work the right front piece the same way, but here it is increased to the neck at the end of the rows from the right and it is increased before the last 3 stitches. After the last increase purl back from the wrong side. Increase like this: From right side increase towards the left AFTER MARKER like this: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from front and knit stitch in back loop. Increase towards the right BEFORE MARKER: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from behind and knit stitch in front loop. In this video we work with 2 yarn qualities: DROPS Lima color no. 9029 sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk color no. 45 soft mint, needle size 5 MM = US 8.
