I just did another version tonight myself, doing a purl-into-front-and-back into the wrong side of the piece, just above some horizontal welting where it really didn't show (as opposed to waiting for the next right side row by which time it would have.) The bar was just evident enough though to make it easy to count up to the next increase row ;^)Mary Keenanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260934319762115179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-33585566278738509802011-04-06T19:58:40.574-04:002011-04-06T19:58:40.574-04:00I just learned an increase variation last week tha...I just learned an increase variation last week that I like...not sure it's the answer to everything but you could try it and see if you like the looks. It is a 2-row increase. First row, do the classic knit-in-the-front-and-back-increase. Second row, knit in the back loop of the increase you just made - that's the stich that resulted from knitting in the back of the stitch in the first row. I hope this isn't too much of a word salad explanation! It really is just twisting the new increase stitch on the next row which tends to eliminate the looseness at the base of the increase. Does this make sense?Kate/Massachusettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542166992446263952noreply@blogger.com
