Lifted increases

this information came from one of my news letters.

they stack on top of each other well, they have both left- and right-leaning versions, the purl version isn’t any harder than the knit version, and they look really tidy.

Right Lifted Increase (RLI)
Step 1: Use your right needle to pull the knit stitch one row below the first stitch on your left needle.


Step 2: Place the stitch on the left needle, taking care to ensure it doesn’t slip over the stitch next to it.


Step 3: Knit the stitch and slip it off the needle, taking care not to slip off the stitch that was originally on the needle                               

Left Lifted Increase (LLI)
Step 1: Unlike the RLI, this increase is worked two stitches below.



Step 2: Insert your right needle from back to front underneath the second stitch below.



Step 3: Place this stitch on the left needl


Step 4: Knit it through the front loop (insert needle from right to left).


Right Lifted Increase, Purl (RLIP)

tep 1: Use your right needle to pull the purl stitch one row below the first stitch on your left needle


Step 2: Place the stitch on the left needle, taking care to ensure the left loop is in the back


Step 3: Purl the stitch and slip it off the needle, taking care not to slip off the stitch that was originally on the needle


Left Lifted Increase, Purl (LLIP)

Step 1: Unlike the RLIP, this increase is worked two stitches below


Step 2: Insert your left needle from bottom to top into the stitch.


Step 3: Purl the stitch.


There are videos on how to do this as well. Personally I plain on makingmyself a cheat sheet. I tend to forget which way i am to go threw to make thecorrect lean.
I hope you have found this informative andenjoyed this tutorial

I have been using lifted incs for a few years.I dont know why pattern designers dont include them more, they really are less noticeable.
