I finished knitting the Pfieffer Falls scarf and have made numerous attempts to graft the hood in pattern but cannot wrap my head around the process. I am working from a 2007 knitting magazine and there are no instruction for grafting in pattern. Can you please offer some assistance?
I am about to start the Weekend Shawl, but have never done a Right Lifted or Left Lifted Increase before. Can you direct me to a site where I might watch a video of this technique? I’ve read several posted comments, and no one seems to know exactly how to do this. Thanks!

the fold/pleat right.It’s too balky at the turning part.
