I will forever now think about my mothers and grandmothers “legs” when I do increases. I don’t know how Arne comes up with this stuff! Love the drawings too! Thanks you two - so nice to see you both!
You have given me the best present in the world....from learning your "mother, daughter, grandmother" etiology....I NOW knit with my family close to me at all times. Best gift ever!
I am grateful! As a new knitter (just over a year) it really helps to understand the why as well as the how! Nice to see you back this weekend Carlo. Have a great week guys! I wish I could have joined you for the knitting cruise it looks beautiful!
Crazy cool analogy Arne! A very easy way to remember how to increase and decrease that is just too cool! It’s an amazing way to remember and work the separate colors.💙🦋
Love today's video for several reasons, especially to see the creativity of Arne on his design created to teach the concept of increases.I had a great time watching your video this afternoon.
Cat Bordhi has a great video showing this (daughter, mother, grandmother) increase technique. I love...and enjoy...everybody's teaching style. Vivian Ann on the side of the mountain in northeast Tennessee
Thank you Arne and Carlos! With your videos I've managed to teach myself how to knit and I've just completed my first sock. You've managed to create a new male knitter in the world! Kos dere masse på tur :)
This was a brilliant tutorial! The m1 can leave a hole and sometimes I can close it up, but I tried it last night with a stitch that had elongated for some reason and this closed it up. The visual was so helpful!!
Arne is so funny with this description. But it makes sense! Carlos wonderful to see you again. Maybe next year if you have another cruise I can make that one as I will be retired. 💞
I have always wondered how to keep a tidy contrasting coloured outline on mittens when increasing. Never thought to go to the “grandmother” row. Thanks Arne, very clever. I will definitely use that useful tip in future projects.x
Arne you are wonderful - thank you for another brilliant tutorial 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I wish you offered knitting retreats - imagine what I could learn from you in a week! 😀👍🏻
Hello Lovely Guys I always look forward to seeing you both each Sunday evening. Arne you are a fabulous teacher and your diagram made it all come to life. Thank you Arne and Carlos you are always welcome friends every week. Have a wonderful week ahead. Sending you both hugs and loves from U.K. xxxxxxxxx😘🙋🏻❤️❤️
Very helpful to see the different increases and learn how to keep the gusset looking correct with the line of colored stitches. Absolutely love the illustrations and think they would make a perfect Mother’s Day card for knitters. Think about it. Ta-ta!
Thank you for posting this Arne and Carlos. Arne would you please review which stitch to pick up when doing short rows for socks? It’s not very clear from your sock tutorial video where to pick up a stitch after two stitches have been knitted together. Thank you very much and greatly appreciate both of you knitting knowledge!
Such a timely video instruction. Working on your Eivor mittens now.... I find I am using this increase more often. I like it better than the M1. Arne, you are a great visual teacher. Is it wrong, but I love the end of each video when you guys say Bye - I feel like Arne is saying - "get the heck out of here" He is so funny !... :)
Aaaahhh.... that’s why my thumb gusset increases are not “neatly angled”....I love knitting selbu mittens... that would be a great video to show the thumb section. Great illustrations and concept! So nice to see you two every Sunday. 💕
I have never seen this kind of lifted increase before! The one I'm familiar with is worked while the "daughter" stitch is still on the left needle and you insert the right needle front to back in the stitch below, knit, then knit the daughter stitch and slip the column to the right needle. I'm going to try this new way next time. Looks like it would be neater even if you aren't changing colors.
I love you guys and your videos. Thank you. I wanted to mention that I just happened to discover that you have the coolest sock yarns ever! I’m going to Minneapolis in a couple of weeks and was checking out a LYS online and happened upon your pairfect sock yarn. I can’t wait to get some. :)
Hi Arne&Carlos, Love your pictures Arne:) Very interesting tutorial thank you for sharing, I noticed one of your new Rowan knitting patterns is knitted in intarsia, That might be another tutorial idea:) See you next week. KimXX
Wow! Now I know what I've been doing wrong. I started making a sweater, but when I got to a color change row I was lifting in the bar between 2 stitches, not in the legs and it made a hole. I've torn out every single sweater and shawl that I started because I got holes or messy stitches. Thank you so much!
On their free mitten pattern, they say, "Increase with M1R before and M1L after the center set of sts of thumb gusset." Should we substitute M1Mother before and M1Grandmother after the center? I could use a little clarification, please. Thanks!
Very good video! How I missed this when it first came out, I do not know! I haven't thought of using the grandmother stitch, ever! But is the illustration no longer in your blog archives? I can't seem to find the blog or the illustration that this episode refers to. Thanks! Great video as ever!🥰
Such a simple increase! Do you need to worry that’s it is not leaning left or right with this stitch? Maybe you could also do an illustration on how you do the short row increase. It appears to be more like a German short row, with no wrap and turn.
I will be trying to knit a top-down sweater for my daughter. Thanks for teaching me how to knit and purl. Now, I need to learn how to increase and decrease to start the sweater. I can’t find the place where you have this information in your webpage. Could you provide the link to it? Thank you very much. My husband likes your videos even though he doesn’t do any knitting!🤣🤣🤣
Love the daughter, mother, grandmother concept with the legs. Really helpful. Also, the drawing was fantastic!. Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to see what you are doing when you use white yarn on white needles against a white table. Please put a contrasting color cloth on the table (black?) and stop using the white yarn with those big needles. I do like the big teaching needles and big yarn. P.S. I'm finishing my first pair of Pairfect Socks. My daughter gave me your yarn in December for a gift. I love working with it. You two are Wonderful!
I never used this method before! I've always increased by pulling up the bar in between the stitches. I guess that explains why my increases aren't very good.
Watching your older videos on socks glad you knit them like I do but I use red heart soft touch and 3.50 mm I wish I could afford to get pretty yarn like you are using. Can you show us again how to knit socks I uses four needles
This called a Lifted Increase. When using the Mother's Leg, you knit as normal, but when you use the Grandmother's Leg, the stitch you pull up is twisted so you either remount the stitch correctly or you knit in the back loop.
I am so sorry to hear about having to add a big watermark because of pinterest. That must be very frustrating! I am glad you are taking steps to prevent your hard work from being stolen!
Hi Arne and Carlos, I love the drawing. I have seen this somewhere before from a pattern. Where do you suggest using this method? The most popular increase I have seen is the pulling the leg up and make one stitch. Also, what pattern did you use for that mitten? It's gorgeous.
I really loved the video, and the picture you made! It was such a great visual of individual stitches. I had only heard of daughter/mother stitches in a specific short row technique. I don't blame you for being done with pinterest, it always bothered me that it was incredibly difficult to find the source material. Instead, users were led from one user to another without any helpful information. I'd imagine it's even more frustrating for creators. Whenever I search for knitting or crochet information I add "-pinterest" (without quotation marks) to the search so I don't have to skim through them, hopefully it'll help you both or some of your listeners! I also wanted to add, I really appreciate your consistency in posting videos, and all the info you share. I knit and crochet and I appreciate seeing videos and patterns for both. Thank you for creating your videos and patterns, I really appreciate it! Would it help your ad revenue to visit your website often?
I’m right now making a mitten and I keep getting a hole when I have to pick up stitches to finish the thumb. Should I pick up the “mother” stitch or the “daughter” stitch to eliminate the hole in the thumb? I absolutely love your videos and the visuals. Debbie L.
We didn’t have a close up of the increase in the Mother unfortunately - is that also made in the left leg or in the right one? Thanks for your tutorial! Ingrid
I'd like to ask a technical question, if I may? When doing an increase can I use the main color to increase from the mother's leg and then use the float color on the daughter's leg? Or do they have to be the same color when I do an increase with the mother and daughter stitch? Many thanks and much love from Canada!!
@@patportran4683 thank you, Pat! Now that you tell me I remember I've read about a "knit into stitch below" maybe from Elizabeth Zimmermann, but maybe in a different way, knitting directly into next stitch, getting a right increasing (omg I hope I'm writing understandably). This left increase is new for me but it's logic!
This was a little confusing but if you watched it a few times then you get it, sometimes Arne, being an intelligent guy, is hard to follow for me but if I listen carefully a time or three I get it.
I will forever now think about my mothers and grandmothers “legs” when I do increases. I don’t know how Arne comes up with this stuff! Love the drawings too! Thanks you two - so nice to see you both!
This is a better technique than what I have been doing for the past 4 years x)
This is the best explanation with illustration that I have seen. Thank you so much. You are AMAZING!!!!!
So are you! Thank you for watching.
I see this is from a long time ago but every time I see Arne work and his drawings I am amazed. He is so very creative.
Thank you!
I too enjoy Arnie’s humor. Be yourself! ;-) its fun!
You have given me the best present in the world....from learning your "mother, daughter, grandmother" etiology....I NOW knit with my family close to me at all times. Best gift ever!
Starting a Sunday morning here in Los Angeles with an Arne&Carlos show about a great way to increase! Thank you!
I am grateful! As a new knitter (just over a year) it really helps to understand the why as well as the how!
Nice to see you back this weekend Carlo. Have a great week guys! I wish I could have joined you for the knitting cruise it looks beautiful!
Thanks lovely explanation. Loved the illustrations. Happy Sunday night xx

Fabulous art work, would look great in my craft room x
Again you both are clearing up making stitches. Thank you for your teaching. 🇺🇸 Sally Wa. State
Each row becomes a new generation of Knitting. Very clever. ❤️
Very cool illustration Arne!
Thats what I call: generation knitting. Really nice idea and thank you for this video. I really enjoy your videos.
A good thing to know. Thank you, Arne & Carlos.
Thank you. I never knew that was how to increase. I learn something new every time I watch. ❤️
I have never heard it explained this way. What a great concept of looking at stitches! Thanks
Love the artwork, you both are great teachers!💖
This was a brilliant tutorial! The m1 can leave a hole and sometimes I can close it up, but I tried it last night with a stitch that had elongated for some reason and this closed it up. The visual was so helpful!!

I’ve been battling with increasing • thank you for this tutorial ❣️ now I’ll have no more holes in my colour-work-knitting 🧶
You are welcome!
Hi Arne&Carlos,
Love your pictures Arne:)
Very interesting tutorial thank you for sharing,
I noticed one of your new Rowan knitting patterns is knitted in intarsia,
That might be another tutorial idea:)
See you next week.

Brilliant !

Good morning from New York. Thank you for so much wonderful things you do. Have a nice day my teachers. GOD BLESS YOU.
praticing my norwegian love you both
Thanks for the video. 😃
So that’s how it is done! And why my increases are messy. Thank you very much. Now show us the decreases.
Very nice illustration Arne!
thanks so much for such an useful explanation! XX
Thank you, I am going to try this, I do differently but yours is simpler my Favourite Vikings x
Thanks for Sharing💙👍
Awesomeness! Blessings on your relationship. 😙😙😙😙😙
What a clever lesson 🙏🏼
Glad you liked it!
Hello
You really are a talented pair. And if all else fails you would probably get a tv show.
Good luck in London soon.
What fantastic drawings and explanation. Thanks. 👋
You are welcome!
A lot of people are visual learners, so your daughter/mother/grandmother chart is very helpful.
Thanks. Great information. I've been using your technique in place of M1L & M1R. Much easier to do, and looks better when finished. Two thumbs up.
On their free mitten pattern, they say, "Increase with M1R before and M1L after the center set of sts of thumb gusset." Should we substitute M1Mother before and M1Grandmother after the center? I could use a little clarification, please. Thanks!

Fantastic! Do you guys have a similarly simple way to m1p ?
Thank you
Thank you! Making mittens from book.
You are welcome, thank you for watching!
love this ... so what if you had to purl, does it directly translate for flat knitting Pwise side?
Love the daughter, mother, grandmother concept with the legs. Really helpful. Also, the drawing was fantastic!. Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to see what you are doing when you use white yarn on white needles against a white table.

omgosh I thought it was me, I keep landing up in circles half the time with no link to the actual listing ... thanx for bringing it to light!
Interesting video! I've never heard of increasing like this. Can you explain why it would be used, instead of increasing directly into the daughter?
