Lifted Increases, in knitting, are really good for cables in your pattern. They provide an invisible number of extra stitches, which allows your piece to expand to accommodate the twists in your work.
The “Left and Right Increases” video is a video I created that shows you step-by-step how to create these increases in a cable pattern. The video goes with the All Occasions Cabled Flat Cap Pattern that you can download here:
