Make 1 Right, Make 1 Left Tutorial
Sometimes, for decorative effect, you may want to make increases that lean either right or left. Here's how to do it!
To "make 1 right" (m1R), pick up the bar between the last stitch you knit and the one you're about to knit, bringing the needle from the back to the front.
Then knit into the front of this stitch.
To "make 1 left" (m1L), pick up the bar between the stitch you knit and the one you're about to knit, bringing the needle from front to back.
Then knit into the back of the stitch.
