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
thank you
I have been using lifted inc's for a few years.I don't know why pattern designer's don't include them more, they really are less noticeable. I haven't seen this increase before.I like how you presented it.For a lifted increase I've always had it described as lifting the yarn between the 2 stitches & either knitting or purling the stitch.I think I'd like to try this way and see how it looks. i use lifted increase when I make socks.I love them for that.I rarely use them for anything else.Thanks for the tutorial! Thank you. The images make all the written instructions make sense.
