I like the slow, clear instructions, the big yarn and needles in contrasting colors.

Should be noted that the final knit of the left increase required you to knit into the back of the stitch because of the position that lifted stitch ends up on the needle after you pick it up. I totally would have missed this in my first few weeks of knitting! This is an AWESOME video. Thanks for the help!

I LOVE your visual and verbal examples of these stitches! You are the best knitting teacher I have found on these technics! Bless you bless you bless you!

Thank you for making it clear for using this increase stitch on raglan increases I can see the slant direction and why ! Thank you

Thanks so much for this clearly explained and demonstrated tutorial! You have spared me an enormous amount of frustration

Yes! Great description. I was trying to knit the LLI without having knit the stitch previously 🙄 and I didn’t understand why it looked off. Thank you.

great video! Helped me learn more about increases and decreases.

Such a clear explanation. Thank you so much for sharing this. 🥰

Thank you! Very clear and straightforward. Just what I needed

Best Increase Video I've found on KZread - Thank You!

Thank you so much. Your description and video are so clear. Perfect tutorial. ♡♡♡

been struggling with understanding this, but i finally get it now! thank you!

Thank you so much. I wished there were a video on this increase on the purl side. I'm working a pattern that calls for short rows while doing this lifted increase so it requires the left lifted increase to be done on the PURL SIDE.

I really like your demonstration of these increases, I like to make triangle shawls, however I don’t like the lace up the center spine. I think I’m going to try to use this increase in a shawl and see how it works. Thank you

Thank you so much for this video. I am new at knitting and you are a very good teacher. 😊

Thank you, you’re a great teacher!! 🤗

Brilliant, very clear!

Wow! I loved watching this video. Your voice is so soothing 😌

Super Clear! Thank you!

Great explanation-thank you!

Thanks for the clear instructions

Great explanation!!! I’ve been working on a project that had only photos for the tutorial. Even after researching other video tutorials, my project was not right. The left lifted increase was my nemesis. I was picking up the wrong row creating large eyelets. Which is a different look that could be incorporated into a different pattern. Your video was clear and concise. I will restart the project with confidence. Thank you!!!

Great video, Very well and clear explanation.👌 I needed this and I was founded it for a long time.👍👍

This was really helpful, especially watching you "tink" those right and left increases when you demonstrated it the 2nd time. I've had to tink my knitting enough times now to need a dedicated video just to show how to undo these lifted increases but I think I got it from watching you undo them quickly.

Great explanation! Thankyou

Thank you I finally understand!

Excellent video!!!!!😊

I like your stuff good to know hank

Thanks 🙏 a lot Really I appreciate your way for explanation your voice really very calm also I feel you are a good person to do tutorial Many thanks my dear.

I’m still struggling with this! Will keep practising though.

This is so clear and helps me to finally understand LLI and RLI. Will it look the same knitting top down in the round. Do I knit RLI first?

Hi Sandra. Yes, the right lifted increase is worked first. There's a closeup photo of my top-down sweater swatch, showing what the raglan line would look like in a sweater here: yayforyarn.com/knit-lifted-increases/ I hope this helps!

Hello Thank you so much your explanation is very helpful May I ask you to help me, I know how to decrease when I am knitting a hat which hasn’t pattern, but if there is some kind of pattern I don’t know the technique for that So would be able to help Best regards Fatima

Hi Fatima. If you are following a pattern for knitting a hat, the pattern should say what type of decrease to use. Then, you can look up the name of that type of decrease to find videos that show how to do it. I hope this helps!

would this work for toe up socks as well? I always get wonky stitches on one side they look looser so I am hoping this will work ... I loved this beautiful aesthetic and clear video and your voice and manner are wonderful. thanx so much

Hi! Yes, this increase does work for toe-up socks. I have used it for socks several times, and it gives a neat, clean look. I hope this helps!

If I’m using this is my double increase on my raglan yoke do I reverse the increases on the next seam? eg: right leaning: left leaning, knit the back neck, then left leaning: right leaning?

@YayForYarn

Hi Hannah. On either side of the seam, you'll use opposing increases. I designed a raglan pullover pattern with this increase here: yayforyarn.com/dotty-pullover/ At each raglan increase line, I would do the right-leaning lifted increase, slip the marker, and then work the left-leaning lifted increase. However, you don't need to swap the increases on the next seam and do left-leaning before right-leaning. You can always do right-leaning, then left-leaning at each increase line, and it will look the same on both sides. Check out the photo tutorial for these increases for a close up of what the finished increase line looks like when done in this manner: yayforyarn.com/knit-lifted-increases/ I hope this helps!

You knit into the back loop on the left increase ( picked up)......is that important?

@YayForYarn

Hi Linda! Yes, if you pick up the stitch so the right leg is behind the needle, then you knit it through the back loop. If you pick the stitch up as if to knit, so the right leg is in front, then you knit into the stitch as normal. That just keeps the stitch from getting twisted. I hope this helps!

Sorry I would like to ask you if you don’t mind to explain When I completed knitting from the front, it was increasing. But I don't know if the other said will increase or not

Hi Fatima. Are you working back and forth in rows? If you are increasing for a raglan sweater, the increases will usually be every other row. So if you're working back and forth in rows, the increases would only be on the knit side of the work, and no increases on the back. Does that help?

Does it work with purling?

@YayForYarn

Hi Kaleigh. This technique can be used with purling, but increases are more commonly worked on the knit side of the fabric. I hope this helps!

Est-ce que c’est disponible en français s.v.p

I am very new to knitting and am trying raglan.. but its not smooth like why do i have a hole i every increase

@YayForYarn

Hi. If you have holes at every increase, it could be caused by knitting with loose tension, or by pulling the stitch too much when increasing. If the tension in the knitted fabric is on the looser side already, then when you increase, the increase stitches will be loose as well, and could have little holes. Or, if the tension in the rest of the fabric is neat, smooth, and not loose, but you're still getting holes, that could happen if you are pulling too much on the stitch as you work into it when you're increasing. I would suggest double-checking that your gauge (tension) matches the gauge in the instructions for whatever pattern you're following. Another thing that might help would be practicing the increase stitches on a swatch to get used to pulling on the stitch as little as possible when increasing, and see if that helps with the holes. I hope this helps!
