Knot Just Knitting

Funny Cable Increase — For Julie

May 20, 2008 · 2 Comments

This is for the other Julie McC. (yes, I used to be one too), who is having trouble with a cable increase that I had trouble with recently.

They tell you to knit into the front and back of a stitch and then find the vertical strand below it and knit into that. Wha….?

I eventually did figure out what I was supposed to be knitting into, or at least it worked, so here goes.

This is what it looks like after you’ve knitted into the front and back of the stitch.

Tug down on the work and the strand will be more obvious:

KFB (again, Flickr has the spot highlighted).

Then you pick up the strand and pretend it’s a stitch, knitting into it as usual.
