I need words of wisdom from you guys!
For the sleeve the pattern (from spring 2005 IK, Wear-Everywhere Pullover) says to CO with smaller needles and knit for 2.5 inches, then switch to the larger needles while increasing a stitch on either side of the beginning of round marker, working the increased stitches into the pattern.
There are no notes on the suggested increases to work or the manner in which to work the increased stiches into the pattern.
The pattern is a variant off of a P2, K3 rib - rnds 1 and 2 are like that and rnd 3 and 4 are a variant on P2, K1, P1, K1. The beginning of round marker lands between the two purl stitches. So, for the first increase round I just purled into the front and back of the stitch on each side of the marker. That seems to have worked just fine. However, the next increase round lands such that I need to add knit stitches. What is the best way to add a knit stitch (even better if it is twisted) to both sides of that marker in the midst of a field of 4 purl stitches?? I’m not having luck so far. I can end up with the proper number of stitches but I seemed to be getting holes with them. I don’t normally have troubles with increases so I’m guessing my problem is that fact that I’m trying to add knit stiches to a field of purl stitches?? And, with the spacing of the increases, they will always land on a round 1 or 3 of the stitch pattern.
Please share with me your favorite way to perform these increases, I’m in desperate need of help!
