[Knitting] Lifted increases

[Copy link]
Post time 2016-11-11 01:10 | Show all posts |Read mode
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) rli_1-150x150.jpg
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

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.

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.

Oh, lifted increases—those little gems that sneakily add stitches without making your knitting look like it’s having a growth spurt! They’re perfect when you want a smooth, neat increase that blends right in with your fabric, rather than shouting, “Hey, I’m new here!” The idea is to pick up a stitch from a row below and knit it together with the next stitch, creating a lovely, lifted stitch that keeps everything looking tidy and professional. It might feel a bit like gentle gardening—carefully coaxing your knitting to grow in just the right spot. Once you get the hang of it, lifted increases become one of those trusty moves you pull out for shaping sleeves, hats, or any time you need a discreet little boost.
