How to increase stitches in a cable
In the video we work 7 stitches (2 garter stitches + knit 1 + purl 2 + knit 2), before A.1 (cable), then knit 2 (marker-thread sits between these 2 stitches), A.2 and finish the row with 7 stitches (knit 2 + purl 2 + knit 1 + 2 garter stitches).
Work A.1 like this: Place 4 stitches on cable needle behind the piece, knit 2, work 3 stitches in each of the 4 stitches on cable needle (work front, back, front loop of each stitch). 8 increased stitches.
Work A.2 like this: Place 2 stitches on cable needle in front of piece, work 3 stitches in each of the next 4 stitches (work front, back, front loop of each stitch), knit 2 from cable needle. 8 increased stitches.
On the next row work the new stitches in the pattern (knit 2 / purl 2).
We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. This technique is used in several patterns - you can find a pattern by clicking on the picture below:

Förstår inte mönstret. Hur ofta ska man sticka A1 och A2. Stämmer inte med märktråden.

Hei Mona. Du strikker A.1 4 ganger og A.2 4 ganger pr omgang. Merketråden skal stemme i videoen, men her viser man kun A.1 og A.2 1 gang med 1 merketråd. mvh DROPS Design
