Round yoke crochet: How to increase right/left of markers

When working a round yoke top down you can increase by using markers on the row and work the increases alternatively on the right and the left of each marker. In this DROPS video we show you how to do this. Here we work back and forth, but the technique is the same if you work in the round. In the video we placed 6 markers on the row and in the first row we increase by working 2 dc in 1 dc on the RIGHT side of each marker (or BEFORE the marker) and in the second row we increase by working 2 dc in 1 dc on the LEFT side of each marker (or AFTER the marker). REMEMBER - you will also need to read the pattern to be able to follow. To see a pattern using this technique, go to: DROPS 164-33 To see how to work sleeves after yoke is finished, go to: Round yoke crochet: how to work body/sleeve under yoke

Hejsa Jeg er igang med opskrift 173-37 og kan simpelthen ikke knække hæklekoden 😊 hvor kommer mærketrådene ind, er det i mønster A.1 eller A.2 ? Hvordan tager man ud i A.1 fra omgang 3 f.eks. 6 m og tag 4 ud jævnt fordelt ? Jeg har prøvet med at hækle således: hækle 2 st i første luftmaske hækle 1 st i næste 2 st i de næste 2 lm og 1 lm og slutte med 2 st i sidste lm - håber det giver mening det jeg forsøger at fortælle.

DROPS Design :

Hei Charlotte. Når du skal sette merketrådene (i hver side) er du ferdig med å hekle A.2 og det hekles nå bare A.1. Du setter også et merke (midt bak), arbeidet måles videre fra dette merket. Din beskrivning av økning jevnt fordelt er helt riktig :) mvh DROPS Design

I stuggle with reading patterns but love love your patterns and yarn. Work 23 double crochets AT THE SAME TIME increase 3 double crochet/s evenly within these stitches. Does this mean 4DC,marker in the 4thDC, 4DC marker, 16DC. Guess I'm not getting AT THE SAME time. Help?

DROPS Design :

Dear Dareth, this lesson explains how to increase evenly over a given number of stitches, this should help you to increase 3 sts over the next 23 sts (so that you get 26 sts over 23 from previous round) - fot the other question, please feel free to ask your question under the pattern you are working on so that we can check together and answer you. Thanks for your comprehension. Happy knitting!

Hallo, bestaat er een basismodel voor ronde pas met aanduiding van het aantal meerderingen (hoeveel en om de hoeveel rijen) zonder siersteek ? Bedankt

DROPS Design :

Hallo Ingrid, De meesten zijn inderdaad met een siersteek, maar misschien is dit patroon geschikt. Je kunt hem dan in 1 kleur haken.

I am not sure why when I do this, the right side is getting more and more stitches and the left side is remaining the same - for example I started with markers after 13 chains on the left and right, after few rounds, my left side is still 13 chains before the increase, the right is 15 chains.. could you show at least 4 rows how it looks like for this increase?

23.07.2017 - 11:57

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Ling, you are increasing as shown in the video ie repeat the 2 rows with inc, these are not raglan dec, but only for circular yoke, so that the markers do not delimitate pieces in work, only where to inc. Happy crocheting!
