Hi,
I do not know how to increase on this stitch without always adding two stitches on the end of the same row. It always turns out to be on the same side and it’s uneven - all the increases are on one side…
Help!

What is it that you’re making?
Hi,
I’m knitting a sweater. I am trying now to do the sleeves.

Hi Ingrid,
i did a search on this site and found this reply from you a while ago to someone asking the same question that i asked. i copied and pasted it below…the trouble is i do not understand your reply - could you try explaining it again differently and hopefully i will get it…
thanks!

Hi Everyone
I want to make myself a seed (or moss stitch as we call it in Australia) stitch jumper and I noticed there are increases on the sleeves - one stitch at each end of several rows (as per normal).
How do I increase in seed stitch and keep the actual pattern of the seed stitch? If seed stitch is K1, P1 and I add a stitch, how does it continue with the actual stitch? (Hope this is clear!)
Many thanks
Julie

What I usually do is try to make the increase in the stitch that would come next. If the row ends in a knit and I have to increase, I’d knit, purl into the last stitch, for example. It’s not perfect, but as you incorporate the increases into the overall pattern, it looks like the stitches blend out from the seam and look fine.
OK, let’s see. You’re going to increase at each edge of the sleeve. If you’re on a row where the first stitch is going to be a knit, and you have to add a stitch before that, what I’d do is purl and knit into the first stitch–Purl but don’t slide it off, put the yarn in back and then knit into the same stitch.
At the end of the row, you do the same thing, but do whatever the last stitch is and then either knit or purl again into that stitch also.
Clear enough?
