Knit tips: how to do stacked increases

Stacked increases are just a lot of increases worked on top of each other. It’s not too complicated, but you’ll have to slip stitches back (SB) to create the stack. It may feel like you’re doing the wrong thing at first, but you’ll see in the video how the SB stitches look. You’ll find instructions for the red swatch shown in the video below in case you want to follow along. Swatch instructions: CO 21 sts using the long tail cast on method. Work a few rows in garter stitch to stabilize the swatch. Increase row: K1*K1, [KYOK, SB2] x 3, KYOK, K5, rep from * 4 more times. (61 sts) Bind off.
