European yoke with raglan-increases, sleeves, front & back and cast on new stiches - Part 4

In this DROPS video, we show you how to knit an European yoke with raglan-increases, both sleeves, front and back piece increases and cast on new stitches. We increase on both sides of all the markers = 8 increases on the round, read INCREASE TIP-1 below, and how to cast on new stitches under each sleeve. We have already worked the back piece, shoulders/front pieces and knitted together the back and front pieces (see videos below). Work as follows: ROUND 1: Knit all stitches (we only show the beginning and end of this round). ROUND 2: Knit until there are 2 stitches left before the first marker, increase towards the right, knit 2, move the marker onto the right needle, increase towards the left, knit across the sleeve-stitches, increase towards the right, move the marker onto the right needle, knit 2, increase towards the left, knit until there are 2 stitches left before the next marker, increase towards the right, knit 2, move the marker onto the right needle, increase towards the left, knit across the sleeve-stitches, increase towards the right, move the marker onto the right needle, knit 2, increase towards the left, knit to end of round (= 1 stitch increased on each side of 2 stitches in each transition between body and sleeves = a total of 8 increased stitches). Repeat these 2 rounds the stated number of times in your pattern. The piece now measures X cm measured down the middle of the sleeve, from where stitches were knitted up, when the jumper is folded double at the shoulder. The piece measures X cm outermost along the armhole. Work to the first marker (= transition between front piece and left shoulder). Now divide the yoke for the body and sleeves, casting on stitches under both sleeves. Follow your pattern for how many stitches are placed on a thread, how many stitches are cast on and how you continue the body. INCREASE TIP-1: INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE LEFT – from right side: Use the left needle to pick up the front strand between 2 stitches from the previous row, knit through the back loop. INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE RIGHT – from right side: Use the left needle to pick up the back strand between 2 stitches from the previous row, knit through the front loop. Yarn used: DROPS Andes. You need to read your chosen pattern and work the correct number of stitches. You can find pattern using this technique and more related videos below.

Toi on ihan daijua että se peukalon merkkilangan taakse jää tota vihreetä lankaa kulkemaan. Se pitäis oikeesti tehdä niin että ne merkilangalla neulotut silmukat pitäis siirtää puikolle takas ja kutoa uudelleen. Näin ei jää sitä lankaa sinne sisään pyörimään.

Det havde vel været bedre om man satte markeringstrådens masker over på Venstre pind(e) og strikkede dem med det samme med en grønne… da vil man jo undgå at have den grønne tråd hængende inde i handsken.

Hei, oppskrift på høyre tommel, strikk de to første pinnene og sett de 6 neste på en annen farget tråd osv. Men venstre tommel hva gjør jeg da, det står bare strikk motsatt av høyre tommel.

How to knit a thumb gusset on a mitten

In this DROPS video we show how to knit a thumb gusset as on many of our popular knitted gloves. Below is a diagram of the entire mitten and a diagram of the thumb. We have knitted after the large chart to where we should start increasing for the thumb (the black squares in the large diagram). You will then knit by the large chart and the little diagram (thumb). When you have done all increases in thumb chart, put x-number of stitches (the number that is in the pattern) on a thread. Now cast on x-number of stitches (the number that is in the pattern) behind the thumb and now knit the mitten after the large chart. When finished knitted mitten, put sts from the thread back on needle, knit up x-number of stitches (the number that is in the pattern) behind the thumb and then work after the thumb chart.
