How to dec 2 sts towards left and 2 sts towards right with 2-coloured English rib

In this DROPS video we show how to decrease 2 stitches towards left and 2 stitches towards right with 2-coloured English rib from. Decrease towards the left: Purl 2 together (yarn over and purled stitch + knit 1), slip the next yarn-over and purled stitch onto right needle, place them back on left needle so the stitch is outermost (and yarn over no. 2), place purled-together stitches back on left needle, keep strand at front of piece, pass stitch and yarn over onto left needle (i.e. second and third stitch on left needle) over the stitch which was placed back on left needle (with strand in front of piece). To finish place this stitch back on the right needle (= 2 stitches decreased) Decrease towards the right (it is important to keep the strand at the front of the piece the whole time during this decrease): Slip yarn over and purled stitch onto right needle, place knitted stitch on an extra needle in front of piece (with strand in front of stitch), slip the next yarn over and purled stitch from left needle onto right needle, place stitch from extra needle back on left needle, purl this stitch, pass purled stitch and yarn over (i.e. second and third stitch on right needle) over the outermost stitch, pass next purled stitch and yarn-over (i.e. second and third stitch on right needle) over outermost stitch (= 2 stitches decreased) We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern (and look at the chart) to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern with these techniques by clicking on the picture below.

How to increase and mark the increase stitches with stitch markers in English rib

In this DROPS video we show how to increase and mark the increase stitches with different colors, the same way we do in the «Cheers to Lift» jumper in DROPS 212-28. INCREASE AS FOLLOWS IN THE STITCHES WITH PURPLE MARKERS: Work 3 stitches in the stitch and yarn over and move the marker as follows: Knit together the yarn over and stitch, move the purple marker to this stitch (i.e. stitch on right needle), but do not slip the stitch and yarn-over off the left needle, make 1 yarn over the right needle and knit together the stitch and yarn over 1 more time = 3 stitches (= 2 stitches increased). The marker sits in the first increased stitch (= knitted stitch). The next time you increase, work in the stitch with the marker. INCREASE AS FOLLOWS IN THE STITCHES WITH GREEN MARKERS: Work 3 stitches in the stitch and yarn over and move the marker as follows: Knit together the yarn over and stitch, but do not slip the stitch and yarn-over off the left needle, make 1 yarn over the right needle and knit together the stitch and yarn over 1 more time and move the green marker to this stitch = 3 stitches (= 2 stitches increased). The marker sits in the last increased stitch (= knitted stitch). The next time you increase, work in the stitch with the marker. On the next round work the 3 stitches into the English rib pattern as follows: Make 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl, purl the yarn over, make 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl. This jumper is worked in DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk and DROPS Glitter, but in the video we use DROPS Snow. You must read a pattern with this description to be able to follow this video properly.
