27 September 2013: (Version 2.1): 

Under SPECIAL TECHNIQUES, the directional Invisible Increase instructions have been slightly modified to make a more “invisible” appearance on the RS of the fabric, as follows: Inv-R (Invisible Increase Right): Place the right leg of the stitch below first stitch on L needle onto L needle and knit it (creating one new stitch on R needle – no stitches have been worked from L needle yet), then knit the first stitch on L needle. (1 stitch increased; leans right) (Modified for this pattern) Inv-L (Invisible Increase Left): Knit one stitch from L needle, now place the left leg of the stitch in the row below the stitch just worked on L needle. Knit the lifted stitch through the back loop (because it is mounted on the L needle in the opposite-than-normal orientation) keeping it from being twisted. (1 stitch increased; leans left; modified for this pattern)
