Cupid (increase stitch)

Cupid increase stitch
Sample
Used DMC 20 Cordonnet special thread.

Used 3 rows of plain netting over #3 kn before begining first row of stitch.

Began with 18 loops.


NOTE:
The amount of increase can vary depending on how close the cupid stitches are placed in round/row 1, (sample has them start 3 loops apart) and how many rows are done with the cupid stitch.

Number of loops needed in round/row to begin stitch varies depending on how close the cupid stitches are placed in round/row 1.

For circular netting this stitch requires a multiple of 2 loops plus the number of loops between the cupid stitches (eg. 2 + 3=5).

For diamond mesh netting this stitch requires the same number as for circular netting plus the number of loops between the cupid stitches (eg. Multiple of (2 + 3) + 3=8, or 13, or 18).

Number of loops listed below assumes that cupid stitches are started 3 loops apart.
