Increase in DROPS 155-1

In this video we show how to put the sts back on the right needle and at the same time knit the stripes and short rows (see also pattern 155-1). Note! There will be a slight transition (longer stitches) when you put the stitches back and knit them again. It is therefore important to tighten the yarn every time you knit a new row and the transition will also be smaller after washing. In the video the transition is more visible because we knit with a thicker yarn. Knit as follows: You have 2 sts on the left needle and begin working over the 2 sts, turn and work back. On next row (= RS) slip 2 sts loosely from right to left needle (= 4 sts on left needle) work over the 4 sts, turn and work back, slip 2 sts on every row from RS, turn and work back. Make sure to always have the strands on WS of piece. Continue like this (work 2 more sts every time) until 1 ridge with green (Delight) has been worked over all sts. AT THE SAME TIME inc at the end of every row from RS with green (Delight) by working 2 sts in the last st. REMEMBER - you will also need to read the pattern to be able to follow.
