« Increasing
a Stitch When
increasing evenly on both sides of a
piece, as in a sleeve increase, a good tip
is to work the increases inward from the
edges of the knitting in two different
rows. An easy rule of thumb is to work
increases on the right side of a piece on
a RS (right side) row, and work the
increases on the left side of the piece on
a WS (wrong side) row. The instructions
below are written to increase 1 st on each
side over 2 rows. There are
many different ways to increase - a yarn
over (YO) makes a decorative increase,
knitting into the float between two
stitches basically does the same thing as
a YO. Twisting the float before knitting
into it makes a more invisible increase,
but the method below makes the most
invisible increase of all. Step
1: Knit the
stitch above the increase. To work
this increase on a wrong side row purl
into the stitch below the next stitch on
the needle.
