Assia Brill – Workshop 3

Assia Brill Workshop: Twincrease and Its Relatives

Class Description: In this workshop you will learn a new type of Single Increases called Twincrease. It is completely symmetrical. As far as I know, all existing single increases (to make two stitches out of one stitch) are asymmetrical, and so I believe it is an important addition to the increase/decrease family.

First we will discuss it theoretically: existing single increases will be reviewed and the structure of the new Twincrease will be explained. Then we’ll start playing with it! You will learn how to work Twincrease, both knit and purl, as well as its modifications—Twin-over and T-increase. We will talk about when and why we can use these new types of increases.

A handout will be provided.
