    Great instructions, easy to follow too. I've been knitting for around 10 years, but have only ever been brave enough to make scarves, bags etc & have always been afraid of other more complex stitches & patterns. Not now. Your clear & concise instructions have made it possible for me to make sweaters & other clothes for my grandsons. I will definitely be following you on you tube for all my knitting tips. Many thanks x

    Thanks a lot for this great and helpful video! I actually discussed different increases about a week ago with a knitting friend and am now thankful to show her this as an explanation what left and right increases are.
    As a continental knitter I often find it difficult to follow some more complex stitches you demonstrate because I'm not really familiar with the english knitting. So it would be great if you could show a continental version of the more complicated things you demonstrate in the future.

      Tyler Pittman I am 95% sure those are part of the Knitter's Pride Symphony Dreamz's set. Beautiful laminated birchwood needles. I'm as sure as I think I am because I use them myself and they are fantastic. Not only high quality, but KP cords are just phenomenal for both regular and magic loop knitting, and the needles themselves are this glorious slickness somewhere between average plant-based needles (like bamboo) and slick, treated metal (like Addi's); so not sticky, but not fly-off-the-needles slick either. I am obsessed. And to seal the deal, they're crazy, crazy affordable for an interchangeable set. I feel like I'm *this* close to reaching advanced knitting status, and I still think they're exactly what I want. Definitely check them out.

    This has become my “go to” video for increase stitches because of the excellent comparison of 3 types. My one suggested improvement would be visuals to identify the 3 (just numbers). That would make it easier to scrub through the video to find a specific stitch. That said, this has been very helpful so thank you! 🙏🏻 (And, yes, I have returned here several times because I am not an expert knitter so I am in need of review/refreshers on how-to between projects! 😝) 👍🏼

I've only been knitting about fifty years and I'm still learning. Your tutorials are so clear, concise and probably my favorites to watch.

    Thank you for this very helpful video tutorial. I found this very informative, as was the decrease video you posted last week.
    I was wondering if you were planning on producing a video which matched increases and decreases? For instance, if I were making a blanket using M1L and M1R as the increases, which decrease method would you pair with it? Being a new knitter the answer is not obvious to me and I would appreciate the insight of an experienced and talented knitter such as yourself.

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  9 років тому +1

      Crystal Kopec - thanks for the note, and the suggestion. I personally like to keep things simple, and I rarely find a need to use an increase or decrease other than the six (three incs, three decs) I've shown in these two videos. If I was matching up M1 stitches with decreases, I'd use k2tog and ssk. Really, they're the nicest looking, easiest to work, easiest to remember, and good for just about everything.

Can you help me figure this out? Could you help me in any way as I’m going to be using this increase soon. Thanks so much.

    My instructions say to do a M1P which is to make one purlwise with “the left needle lift the running strand between stitches from the front to back then pearl into the back loop of the strand” This doesn’t match any video instructions I’ve seen I am so confused. Can you please explain this increase that I’ve been instructed to do? Why is it called an M1P?

    If I want to only increase say every 2nd or 3rd row, I guess the M1R/M1L version is best? I want a dress to flare a bit and the wool is mottled grey... Do I only increase at the sides or also in the front in back?

    Thank you for the tutorials, they are super helpful to a beginner like me who has taken on a bigger project that I was ready for! (thankfully the sweater is for my dog who doesn't care what it looks like!). I am assuming that lifted increases are similar to kfb in that you need to account for the stitch used in the pattern? The pattern I am using is very simple, just says increase on both ends of the knit rows, so I have been working the increases 1 from the edge... again the puppy isn't too concerned how it looks but is that the best place to add the increase? thanks

    Does it matter if you use knit front back, along with knit back front? (KFB, KBF, if there is even any such thing?)
    Meaning do they need to be mirrored to look nice?

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  4 роки тому

      I don't think you need to mirror kfb with anything to have it look nice - you get a distinctive purl bump with this increase, but when worked on the two sides of a marker, it looks good.

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  6 років тому

      You can use any increase you like - keep it simple, by using kfb (knit front/back) increases at both spots, or mirror increases (Make 1 Right on one side of the marker, Make 1 Left on the other side). You can contact the pattern designer if you want more direction specific to your pattern.

    • @verypinkknits

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  6 років тому

      Being left handed won't make a difference - especially if the only difference is that you hold the working yarn in your left hand, but still knit on to an empty needle in your right hand. (Knitting on to an empty needle in your left hand is called "mirror knitting", and sometimes does change patterns.)
