HOW TO KNIT:
Directional M1 Increases
M1R & M1L
Learn the M1 (Make 1) method of creating right-leaning and left-leaning increases in your knitted fabric. Often used in mirrored pairs on either side of a sleeve cap or sweater body, directional increases such as these add polish as well as stitches to shape your knitted fabric, with a smoother, more elegant appearance than a simple knit front & back increase.
You’ll find directional increases in sweater yokes, thumb gussets on mittens, sock heels, and in shifting stitch patterns in lace and brioche ribbing.
Written Steps
If a direction for the increase is not indicated, work the increase as for M1L (Make 1 Left).
M1R (Make 1 Right)
With L needle tip, pick up the running thread between stitch just worked and first stitch on L needle from back to front. Knit the running thread through the front loop. (1 stitch increased; leans right)
M1 and M1L (Make 1 and Make 1 Left)
With L needle tip, pick up the running thread between stitch just worked and first stitch on L needle from front to back. Knit the running thread through the back loop. (1 stitch increased; leans left)
