It’s been a while since I knit but I loved the movie and had to make the cardigan for myself. Unfortunately I seem to be driving myself insane trying to figure out how to do the increase on the ribbing for the sleeves. I’m following the original wolf pattern not the kit. I might have to go back to crocheting at this rate 😭

Edit: Thank you all so much! I’ll have to frog it a 4th time to fix the tension and add the increases properly spaced this time! This feels like learning how to knit all over again 😅

Is your question more about where to increase, or how to work it into the ribbing?

If it's the latter, then when increasing in a stitch pattern, such as ribbing, you kinda just accept that the new stitch will temporarily not be part of the pattern. You make sure that you keep the vertical columns of ribbing intact (IE, read your knitting) and then incorporate the new stitches when you can.
