Your video tutorials are the BEST EVER!!! You are so clear and concise, you use large enough needles and yarn so that it is easy to follow along, and you don't take 300 years to convey something that should take about 5 minutes! Thanks on all counts. You're my "go to" for video instruction.

I love Very Pink Knits! I will bypass other knitting videos on search engines to see your video version. You are always straight forward and concise. While other knitting videos rambble on and on, you get to the point and clearly show the stitch or technique in question. Please keep those videos coming!!

Ty so much, idk how ppl knitted without YT. But I guess they actually talked to experienced knitters.

Thanks for the excellent instructions. The clip makes it easy to understand which stitch should be worked in the LLI.

Thank you Stacy! I watched another video on the lifted increase, but your explanation, especially of the left increase really helped me understand what's going on with it. Perfect!

I watched several other videos and checked out a written description with photos but yours is the only one I could follow successfully! Thank you for the videos you post. I have learned to knit by watching them. VeryPink videos always have the most clear instructions.

Cynthia Berend SAME! Thank you!

Yay! I'm grateful to you for the VERY clear visuals & instructions! You've helped me understand so much over the years. I was stuck on a pattern right at the beginning-- and you saved me! Now I get to rip that hot mess out and make it the right way. LOL

Thanks Staci - very helpful video. Looking forward to your studio changes!!

Thank you for the video!!! The increases are a part of many patterns and I usually struggle to get the pattern straight although I got the number of stitches on the needle right - now I know why !!! And I love the scarf too!!!

Your videos are the best! Thank you for clear, concise instructions. Very much appreciated.....

Thank you so much! Your explanation & demonstration is the clearest of all and makes so much more sense to me!!!

You're my go to for learning new techniques. Thank you so much!

I really enjoy your videos, Im a very seasoned knitter Ive learnt so many new tips. This video like all your others is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing xxx

Thanks so much for this! I wasn't doing the left one correctly, but you made it really clear. So now I feel confident making these types of increases.

Robin Gilmore - you have your comment settings as such that I can't reply directly to your comment - hopefully you'll see this! The instructions you describe from your pattern do not describe the same lifted increases I demonstrate here.

Sorry about the settings, I'm not very good at this yet. I'll try to figure it out. I did get your response and thank you for your reply. I appreciate all of the help you give. Have a great day. :)

Thank god !! I wasn't able to figure out why to knit from the second st below for the left increase and i tought... Let's see if stacy has a video on this ! As always you explained it very well !!

Thank you for your clear, concise tips for "English" knitters.

Very clear. Thanks. I liked the sample in the beginning.

TKS FOR ALL YOUR TEACHINGS!!! You make a GREAT job!!!

Thank you. Your videos are so helpful and straight to the point. Love them.

I love the clear way everything is explained...such a help, thank-you!

As usual, the best explanation

Great tutorial. I’m a newbie and love your tutorials.

You are an excellent teacher.

Thank you very much for this! I was looking at a pattern and saw something in the picture that looked like an M1 but wasn’t. Turned out it was this but I didn’t know how to do this. Now I do :)

Best instructions for RL1 and Ll1!

Excellent as always!

Thanks for this video tutorial! I learned from this video a long time ago and I love these increases, I actually use it to substitute the M1.

Again, you are my knitting savior!

Excellent video. Perfect to refer back to.

This is a really creative idea in all its fullness. Warm regards from Cyprus.

Perfect demo, thank you!

You remind me SO much of Rosemary Clooney! This is like the 846379th video of yours I’ve watched (today) and I couldn’t put my finger on it 😊

clearly and perfect tutorial!!!thank you!!

So clearly shown. Thank you!

Thank you for the tutorial on lifted increases. I can do the right leaning with no problem but the left leaning one was giving me a fit. Now it is much more easily explained and shown , I get it. Now the toes of my next pair of socks will have matching increases.

Thanks sooooooo very very much !! its soo easy now that i can see someone working it !

Your explanation is very easy to understand. Thank you~~♡ 감사합니다 ~~♡

Hello Cindy Rice recommended you... Question is this also called a Raglan Increase... she used this technique in her Classic Cardigan Knitting Pattern to help create button holes. Your response is welcome. If it is the way for me to go you have simplified the method for me. In Cindy's pattern she says to do Raglan Increases - this term means to KF&B in the stitch before and after each marker. This will create the increases which will look like diagonal lines that form the sections of the piece Thank you.

Very helpful - thank you!

Exactly what i needed thank u!!

Very clear, thanks!

Thank you

I want to use the kfb instead of the lifted increase in JumperCable's Foxglove Poncho, how would I do that? I'm also using a dark color. This is part of the body: Round 13: [(K to one ST before SM, RLI, K to one ST after SM LLI) twice], K to end of round.

Your tutorials are the best! Simple and clear! (I have to know what color nail polish that is! Gorgeous!)

I'm working a pattern where these increases are on the Purl side too. Would you have a video showing these lifted increases on the PURL side? Thank you

Very well explain. Thank you

You are so cute and talented. Wish I can be as cool as u.

Hi, Thanks for the help on the lifted increase, but I have a question. In this pattern from Interweave, Marian Tunic, they call for RL1 (Right lifted increase), but their instructions say, "Knit into the back of stitch (in the “purl bump”) in the row directly below the stitch on the left needle." Is this basically the same thing and the right leg of the stitch below? Also, they call for a LL1 (Left lifted increase), but their instructions say, "Insert left needle from front to back into the stitch below stitch just knitted. Knit this stitch." Is that the same as using the left leg of the stitch below as you instructed? I hope you can clarify this for me, I think this pattern just might be a little to difficult for me at this stage. Thanks, Robin

PLEASE CAN YOU SHOW A LEFT AND RIGHT DECREASE.THANK YOU FROM ITALY.

What is pattern doesn't designate left or right increase, just an increase. Which would you use.?

might you have a video on purl increases? doing a top down sweater and I am doing something wrong in lifting the bar style of increase. On the one from the front I practically have to do body contortions to get it off the needle because I am working into an increase from previous round and it is tight ... I am getting holes also but not always???

Here is my video on Make 1 Purl increases, which will work for your project. If your project has you working increases every row, they shouldn't be stacked directly on top of each other (hence, the problem you're having). I recommend making sure you're reading the pattern carefully, and contacting the designer to clarify if the increases are supposed to be stacked like that.

I am making a raglan with this increase. I have HUGE gaps under my increases so I knew I was doing something wrong but I couldn’t figure out what. Maybe should’ve watched your video first. I was doing it totally wrong 😑

as you have this green background, you can add a photo on this with move editor..:)) Some kind of summer landscape for example ;))

Hi Staci! I really love the way you knit with holding the yarn on the right hand. But Ive tried it so many times and I cant. I always holding my yarn on the left, and the stitches are always bigger than I expected. Although I follow the pattern as well. Any help?

anthusinna inna - getting good tension takes practice. Stick with holding the yarn in your left hand, if that comes naturally to you. Then keep practicing - even stitches will prevail! This video should help: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pX9lk7x_lpWpnqQ.html

you're videos are great,I have a question, can I knit a sleeves to a sweater on a round circular knitting needle, instead of DPN's?

@verypinkknits

+Kuriyez Islam - yes, you can either use a short circular needle to knit the sleeves, or use a longer circular needle and the magic loop method: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6Glq9OLlK3JZps.html

Thank you very much,I love your videos, they are excellent,I have learned so much from you 😄.

My instructions say "knitting the bar below" is this video the correct method for that? It's the first time I recall coming across an instruction like this, most of patterns call for M1, so I was a bit confused. It's for the operetta shawl if that makes a difference. Thanks so much for your help, love your videos.

Thanks for the help, I'll watch the tutorial next week (really looking forward to it). I downloaded the pattern tonight after I ordered the wool, didn't want to miss out if I don't win the competition :)

Could I please ask how you knit the reverse side? I take it you increase as demonstrated on one side, and just knit the reverse in a way to match the knitting stitches (ie just knit the reverse row in purl)...? And do you increase on every knit row, or can you increase, knit three rows (for example) as is, then increase again....? Obviously this gives a completely different effect, almost like 'steps'....?

Are you asking about this swatch I used for demonstration? I increased every right-side row, and purled on the wrong-side rows.

That's what I thought. Brilliant. Thank you so much, watching your videos is a pleasure. I've been an extremely amateur knitter for a few years, with some barren years of doing nothing, but my passion has been re-ignited and your videos certainly help in maintaining that! (I'm very fond of chunky, relatively uncomplicated knits!) I loved your video about reactive lifelines - and I bought myself a fine steel circular needle immediately after viewing it! 'Magine dat - i've been knitting all these years and never thought of that!! Thank you for your speedy reply!

I am making LLinc and RLinc in the round. Is it the same way you have just shown in your video?

@verypinkknits

Any pattern designer can assign abbreviations to mean anything, but what I've demonstrated here is usually how those are worked. Be sure to contact the pattern designer (or refer to the 'Abbreviations' part of your pattern) for clarification on your pattern.

My question is about the count. I’m getting into trouble following a pattern calling for LLIs. It says “[k3, LLI]11 times.” Do I count the first knit stitched before the LL increase as one of the 3? So k1, increase, k2?

@verypinkknits

5 жыл бұрын

I'm kind of confused by your question, but I'll answer the way I read it. The three knit stitches are one thing, the increase is a second thing (each repeat is 4 stitches when you're finished). If you're still unclear, this is a good question to ask the pattern designer directly. Ravelry message is usually a good way to reach designers.

I am knitting a raglan sweater top down. It calls for a RLI and a and a LLI. Would this be the same as the "lifted increase"? The pattern is for the Biscotti Sweater by Kiyomi Burgin and the yarn is Cascade Nevado #5 weight. I found some pictures demonstrating the increase on www.knittingdaily.com/glossary and had a hard time understanding. Would I be able to use the "lifted increase" you demonstrated with the # 5 weight yarn that I am using?

The likely answer is yes, but you will need to check the "Abbreviations" section of the pattern for clarification, or contact the pattern designer directly.

i can see the small difference between make 1 and this

Unfortunately I do not understand at all. How many stitches you have at the beginning ?10? and how many increases you did ? After which number of stitches you begin to increase ?

I think you misunderstand - this video is to demonstrate the increase stitch only, not the piece I'm knitting. (The piece I'm knitting is a swatch designed to teach the increases, nothing more.) The stitches before the increase do not matter, I'm teaching the increase itself.
