Hello! I have a pattern with a cable increase that I can’t figure out. I’d really appreciate help! The abbreviation is 2/2 RCinc
“Inserting RH needle tip from underneath, knit into purl bumps in front of the the first and second stage on the LH needle (2 sts inc) “
I might be overthinking, but I don’t see where the increase happens. So far I have only increased by yarn overs. Thanks!
What is the name of the pattern?
It’s a pattern for a baby blanket that has a Celtic heart centerpiece. I’m assuming this is the bottom of the heart.
Ah, very nice. For the next 2 sts you’re going to work an increase by knitting into the bumps in front of the sts. Knit into the first bump and then knit into the 2nd. You’ll have 2 new sts (the increases) on the right hand needle. Now knit the next 2sts.
Hi, how did you get on? I’m trying the same pattern and stuck in the same place! Any tips would be welcome.
Thanks.
Welcome to KH!
@MochiMoto Did the pattern work out for you?
Mamgu, have you tried this on a swatch or some scrap yarn? You’re making the cross by knitting into the stitch below, then again into the stitch below. The 2 original sts remain on the left hand needle. Keep the stitches fairly loose so that the second increase and the subsequent sts aren’t a struggle. Finish by knitting the 2sts that are still sitting on the left hand needle.
Thanks. I’ll give it a go, that seems to make things clearer. I may be back!
