Whoa! Thats so much easier and looks nicer.

[@CarrieCraftGeek]

I agree 😄

[@silemuirin]

Your shawl stayed remarkably in place. No Igor moment! 😂

[@CarrieCraftGeek]

It fell off so many times when the camera was off. Thankfully it stayed put when I was filming. Think I need a shawl pin 😂

Thank you again for another super helpful and easy to follow video. I'm definitely going to try out lifted increases on my next project! I do have a question for you... I recently made a sweater that called for increases in purl rows. I tried a three different increase methods and wasn't happy visually with any of them. What type of increases do you like to use for purl rows? (For reference, the sweater I made was the Pull Over Sweater which had horizontal ribbing in the yoke.)

[@CarrieCraftGeek]

Answering Questions: My favorite increases on a purl row

[@Dixiered03]

Is there a “non leaning” increase

[@CarrieCraftGeek]

There are increases that work into the same stitch twice like KFB, but they leave visible bar on stockinette fabrics. They're really good for garter and ribbing.
Then there is the YO, but that will leave you with eyelette's unless you twist the stitch on the next row. The book I recommend calls it a Closed YO increase and Some still considers it neutral, but I think the twist creates a lean like the M1.
There is also using a backward loop but again it has a twist and often leaves a small gap at the bottom
