Thanks for the tip! Yours is very simple.. some other videos say different ways but yours is nice and simple. Thankyou! ❣ 👕🤞💚

Thanks for the tips ❤️

I really like the sage green sweater you’ve been wearing. Lovely on you & perfect for your coloring. ❤️ Thank you for your tips & helps.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, NanaQ :-) This sweater is one of my favourites. It would be the next pattern I'm going to make.

Another great tutorial. Thank you. I wish you would do a video on how the knit a perfect V-neck ribbed collar. I always have trouble with the point.

[@10rowsaday]

That's a great suggestion! Thank you. I've just added this topic to my to-do list. V-neck collar makes any sweater look well finished, I'll do my best to figure out the simplest way to do it right. Stay tuned :-)

Thankyou 😊

Hi I’ve struggled so long with this and now finally I’ve found YOU thank you so much. Please could you do a tutorial for decreasing in pattern as well I would really appreciate it. Do you teach any classes online Privately as I have learning difficulties and need some one to one classes? Many thanks in advance

[@10rowsaday]

Hi Sophia. So glad this tutorial helped you master increasing in pattern. I'll definitely make a tutorial about decreasing in pattern sometime soon. Thanks for the suggestion :-) As to the additional consultations, I'm going to do it in monthly Q&A sessions on my Patreon page (the link is in the profile). Patrons submit knitting questions and I address each question in a special video. The August Q&A video is planned for August 31.

I love your videos and always find them incredibly helpful. I do have a question though. I am trying to increase a one by one rib at one stitch at the end of every 6th row. I am having trouble because I end up with a big hole/gap where I increase. Any suggestions how to remedy this? Thank you.

[@10rowsaday]

The issue could be in the increasing method you use. Try lifted increases described at www.10rowsaday.com/lifted-increases They don't form any holes. Good luck :-)

[@mahinkamran346]

Can I do the same for a mesh pattern too?

[@10rowsaday]

Of course! The idea is the same no matter the stitch pattern. Good luck!

[@karenherangi6125]

Hi Can you tell me is this also called" taking the inrease stitch into the rib pattern "

[@10rowsaday]

Yes, Karen, the idea of increasing stitches in pattern is the same for all stitch patterns, including ribbing. Happy knitting :-)

[@karenherangi6125]

Thank you. Searched all over you tube regarding this stitch and have found how to do it. I'm almost up to the sleeve on my project which is where I need to use it. So I'm happy 😁😊. Thanks for you reply

[@rosemarywhitley4494]

Thank you very much this is helpful so far. I'm knitting a sweater which has a 6 stitch 6 row repeat pattern. The amount of stitches to be worked at beginning and end of each row before the repeat ** starts are all different. I just can't figure it out at all!! 😞 Any tips from anybody would be most helpful and very much appreciated 🙂 Many thanks ❤

[@10rowsaday]

Hi Rosemary. If you are not sure how the stitch pattern works out, test it on a swatch. See whether by following the stitch pattern instructions you get the right texture. This little exercise will give you more confidence when you start working on the project itself. Good luck :-)

[@utbefan89]

How would increasing work in lace stitches while keeping the pattern looking nice?

[@10rowsaday]

That's a great question, Jesse! Usually, you would work the added stitches in stockinette stitch until you get enough stitches to add another repeat. Happy knitting :-)

@@10rowsaday oh ok I'm working on a lace shawl but using patterns that are just written to be flat.
