Increase

[B]Increase[/B]
I am looking to increase in the front and back of the stitch to
form a ’ V ’ . But the pattern is like a rib stitch. How can I do that without losing the pattern. It would start with about six
stitches then increase in the middle. Help is appreciated.

Thanks
Millie

When you knit in the front and back of a stitch, it forms a little bar that looks like a purl, or you could knit in the front and purl in the back. That’s its other name - bar increase. Do you have a pattern or are you making up your own? It may be easier to keep in a rib pattern if you did the increase at both edges.
