How to work European Shoulders with inc to armhole, front pieces together and front & back together
From the right side, knit the stitches on the right front piece, cast on new stitches (read how many stitches in the pattern) and knit the stitches that are on a thread/stitch holder on the left front piece. The front pieces are now worked together. Knit stockinette stitch back and forth to the given measurement (11 cm in this video), measured along the armhole.
Now increase 1 stitch in each side, increase on the inside of 3 stitches in each side, read INCREASE TIP below. Increase on every 2nd row as many times as it says in the pattern. Continue with stockinette stitch to the measurement says in the pattern (15 cm in this video).
Now cast on new stitches under the 1st sleeve, knit the stitches from the back piece and cast on new stitches under the 2nd sleeve. Put the work together and follow the description of the body in the pattern.
When you place the front piece on the back piece, please note that the top of the armhole is not where it was knitted up in stitches to the front piece, but a few cm down on the front piece. The front piece is longer than the back piece.
INCREASE TIP:
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.
