Rib to Body Increases

Once you have completed 11 rounds of rib, you are ready to work the increase round of rib before starting the body.

 

pattern directions read as follows:

Rib-to-Body Inc Round

Work 7

[inc 1 in next st,   work 6,   inc 1 in next

st, work 7] 1x.

[inc 1 in next st,   work 7] 6x

to first marker. Repeat sequence to

end.

In English, read as Work K2 P2 for 7 sts. You are now on a purl stitch. and need to work an increase in the purl stitch. However, do not remove the stitch from the left needle when finishing the stitch.  The stitch looks split. Half on the left needle, half on the right.

1:Insert the needle as if to purl, draw the yarn over and dip the needle out. However, do not remove the stitch from the left needle. 

 

 

 

2:The stitch looks split. Half on the left needle, half on the right.

 

 

 

 

3: Pass the yarn to the back.  

4: Insert the needle in the back of the stitch on the left hand needle and draw the yarn over. Complete the stitch. You now have two stitches out of one on the right needle.

To complete the instructions, work 6 stitches after the increase in the pattern, increase in the next stitch. Work 7 stitches after the increase. [Increase in the next stitch, work 7 stitches after the increase.]

 Repeat the section in brackets 5 more times. 6 times total.

If you need to increase in a knit stitch, the only thing that changes is that you start the increase by inserting the needle as if to knit.

You will now be at the marker. Repeat the whole process until you reach the end/beginning of the round marker.

The rib is completed.
