Wow, Walker's double increase #4 demonstrated. After 3 or more years I understand it now. I should point out that of the three stitches demonstrated the first lifted loop is knit into the front leg, the next Raglan stitch is knitted into the back leg, and the final lifted loop is also knit into the back leg. That final step may not have been clear.
This is an eye opener for me. I've never seen anyone use this type of increase. Thank you for showing us another option. I'm going to try this the next time I knit a raglan style pullover. Again, thank you.

Many years ago, Barbara G. Walker wrote a book called "Knitting from the Top." In it, she gave directions for a number of raglan increases, many of them decorative. I think this method of yours is one of them. In any case, if anyone wants to learn other raglan increases, this book is a good resource.
Yes. I think she called it “Increase number 4”. Or rather it became known as that because it was unnamed but 4th in a series of increases she detailed. It’s a fantastic raglan increase.

Wow! thank you so much !! I’m using this technique on a jumper I’m knitting now! It’s so much easier the M1R or M1L. I have one cheeky question how do you work this on the wrong side for the German short row increases at the top of the jumper. I’m not sure I’m doing it right 😊 x
If I understand you correctly, You're working a top-down sweater with 4 raglan seams. Whether the sweater is a crewneck or a cardigan, the short rows are shaping the front neck drop. The double increases are done on the right side rows, then you work back on the wrong side. You have to use the invisible raglan increase on every other row, because you are knitting into the stitch below the raglan seam stitch. The wrong side row provides the stitch below. If you want to create increases on the wrong side you do the same as the right side, but you are purling each of the 3 stitches: increase, raglan through the back, increase. Please check out my web site - jamescoxknits.com - and while there sign up for my newsletter - James' Knit Notes - because every issue includes a knitting tip. Cheers, James
@@jamescoxknits oh ok thank you so much. So I just purl right through the last marker do the German short row and then make the increase on the right as I am coming back! Yes thank you I think that would work. Perfectly explained I very much appreciate it 😍😍.
Excellent question. You need to work a row between each IRI (invisible raglan increase) stitch. Because you're knitting into the stitch below to create the increases, and you can't knit into the raglan increases. Have fun with this stitch - I have loved it for over 15 years. Cheers, James
Hello Margaret, Thanks for your very nice notes. Regarding your question about knitting into the back of the knit stitch on my patterns, I'm not sure I understand what you are doing. If you knit into the back of every knit stitch you must be twisting the stitch. That results in a different stitch pattern and fabric. So, I don't believe that will give the same result that the pattern requires. Cheers, James
Do not knit through the back of the raglan stitch on non-increase rows. I hope you're enjoying this stitch. I love it and use it frequently. It is especially successful when you're knitting with a pattern. Check out the Hayes sweater pattern on my web site - jamescoxknits.com - to see how the pattern is mirrored. Cheers, James
When you cast on place marker on your needle before and after each raglan seam stitch. Then when you're ready to start the invisible increases, you simply follow the video: increase, slip marker, knit through the back, slip marker, increase. Have fun.

@@jamescoxknits yes, thank you that’s what I was asking. I’m glad you were able to figure out what I was asking. I didn’t check out your newsletter but I intend to. Just this short tutorial shows how beautiful your work is. Thanks again.
How do I go about this if I only have one marker? Eg in Tin Can Knits Flax sweater, there is just one marker denoting the raglan increase, when you get to two stitches before the marker you kfb, knit 1, slip marker, kfb, then continue knitting until you get to the marker on the other side of the sleeve. I'd like to try your method instead of this, but I'm not sure how since I only have one marker but you have two?
@@syringaofficinalis784 I don't meant how to physically get another marker lol, of course I own multiple stitch markers I can use. I mean where would the positioning of the two markers be placed if my pattern only has one marker.
Hello Delphine, I'm sorry for the slow reply - I've been traveling for the past week. Here's how you work the Invisible Raglan Increase. First place a stitch marker on each side of the raglan seam stitch. Then when you approach the first marker as you are working, use the tip of your R needle to pick up the R leg of the stitch below the raglan seam stitch and place it on the L needle. Then knit that stitch. Move the marker to the R needle. Next knit into the back of the raglan stitch. Now move the second marker to the R needle. Finally, insert the tip of the R needle under the L leg of the second stitch below the raglan stitch - this is now the same stitch you knit into before you moved the first marker because knitting the raglan stitch moved it to the second position - knit into this stitch. Please review the video under Knitting Help on my web site, jamescoxknots.com. Cheers, Jim
I just realized I missed your inquiry. I have not yet found or invented a matching decrease. But, may I suggest my trio stitch. It creates a lovely symmetrical decrease. Check out my video for this one. Cheers, James

Hello. Yes, this double increase is a bit complicated. But I found with a little practice It becomes easy. And I found the results are worth the effort. Happy knitting!!! James
Hello. Perhaps this written instruction will make the invisible raglan increase easier for you. When casting on, cast on one raglan stitch for each raglan seam. And place a stitch marker on each side of each stitch. When you are working on a right side row and come to the first marker for a raglan seam, follow these 3 steps; 1. Before you slip the first marker to your right needle insert the tip of your right needle under the right leg of the stitch below the raglan seam stitch. Place it on your left needle, then knit into that stitch. 2. Next slip the first marker and knit into the back of the raglan stitch. 3. Now slip the second marker then insert the tip of your right needle under the left leg of the stitch 2 stitches below the raglan stitch and knit that stitch. This is the left side of the same stitch that you worked before slipping the first marker. 4. Just purl the next wrong side row. This pattern will produce 8 new stitches in each right side row, when working a sweater with raglan sleeves. It works very nicely for other flat project, like a wrap, scarf or shawl if a double increase is what you want. When starting a top down raglan sweater I always work 2 or 3 rows before I begin the raglan seam increases. Cheers, James

So..... increase on the knit side, purl existing stitches?
To avoid over increasing?
if original pattern has two raglan stitches, how can i knit?
is it ok ‘right invisible increase, k2tbl, left invisible increase’?
Wow! thank you so much !! I’m using this technique on a jumper I’m knitting now! It’s so much easier the M1R or M1L. I have one cheeky question how do you work this on the wrong side for the German short row increases at the top of the jumper. I’m not sure I’m doing it right 😊 x

Can I ask do you increase every row or every other row like regular raglan increase?
Excellent question. You need to work a row between each IRI (invisible raglan increase) stitch. Because you're knitting into the stitch below to create the increases, and you can't knit into the raglan increases. Have fun with this stitch - I have loved it for over 15 years. Cheers, James

On non increase rows do you continue to knit the raglan stitches through the back loop or do you knit through the front?
Do not knit through the back of the raglan stitch on non-increase rows. I hope you're enjoying this stitch. I love it and use it frequently. It is especially successful when you're knitting with a pattern. Check out the Hayes sweater pattern on my web site - jamescoxknits.com - to see how the pattern is mirrored. Cheers, James

Would you clarify also how the marker is placed: is it placed before the center "seam" of the raglan ?

is there a corresponding decrease? one that looks similar
I just realized I missed your inquiry. I have not yet found or invented a matching decrease. But, may I suggest my trio stitch. It creates a lovely symmetrical decrease. Check out my video for this one. Cheers, James

Very complicated 😢
Hello. Yes, this double increase is a bit complicated. But I found with a little practice It becomes easy. And I found the results are worth the effort. Happy knitting!!! James
it's not clear
Hello. Perhaps this written instruction will make the invisible raglan increase easier for you. When casting on, cast on one raglan stitch for each raglan seam. And place a stitch marker on each side of each stitch. When you are working on a right side row and come to the first marker for a raglan seam, follow these 3 steps; 1. Before you slip the first marker to your right needle insert the tip of your right needle under the right leg of the stitch below the raglan seam stitch. Place it on your left needle, then knit into that stitch. 2. Next slip the first marker and knit into the back of the raglan stitch. 3. Now slip the second marker then insert the tip of your right needle under the left leg of the stitch 2 stitches below the raglan stitch and knit that stitch. This is the left side of the same stitch that you worked before slipping the first marker. 4. Just purl the next wrong side row. This pattern will produce 8 new stitches in each right side row, when working a sweater with raglan sleeves. It works very nicely for other flat project, like a wrap, scarf or shawl if a double increase is what you want. When starting a top down raglan sweater I always work 2 or 3 rows before I begin the raglan seam increases. Cheers, James

What a "lovely" note. Sorry my reply has been so slow - home renovation has been rather distracting. James
