This video demonstrates how to do the make 1 purl right (m1pR) and make 1 purl left (m1pL) increases, which are nearly invisible from the purl side of the fabric. It explains why m1pR can be used most of the time, and when you might want or need to use m1pL.

Oh my goodness! I was just looking up how to do m1pwise this morning and wondered if you had any TT videos on it… lo and behold, that’s what today’s is!

Thanks Roxanne -- this was so concise and showed WHY we do thngs a certain way. The slo mo after the explanation was great too -- helped to cement the explanation. You are so helpful.

Your explanation of making the stitch through the trailing leg makes it so easy for me to remember vs trying to remember rhymes or sayings. As always, thank you!

Thanks for sharing your tutorial Roxanne! My first question when I started watching, was 'why' use the one when you can use the other.... but you described the reason visually and it makes so much sense! Great instructions and tips 🤗

I just watched this because I just started a sock pattern that calls for M1P, it describes the technique but doesnt say whether it is left or right. After watching, I have determined it is a M1P right. As usual, you are a great teacher! The red? Shawl is beautiful

The demonstration is excellent, but my knitting technique is so tight, every M1 in my pattern is torture! I'll never get through this sweater! I guess it's back to scarves for me.

Trying to find the right recipe for doing sequential leaning increases to prepare for complex cable patterns when coming out of a seed stitch border. I'm trying to follow your practice of diving right into the first cable crossing row immediately. My attempts so far have been rather ugly! While the cable flare issue is solved, the increases are often not what they should be aesthetics-wise. What I'm trying to accomplish: 1. Last seed stitch row 2. Increase row 3. Setup row 4. First cable crossings Will add this purl increase to the mix in my next experimental attempt. Any suggestions? BTW, you are a goddess in my book. I have a kind of spatial relationship dyslexia, so your method of analytic explanations and demonstrating allows me to learn new skills easily. Rox rocks! A thousand thanks to you.

Hello Roxanne, Thank you for this explanation. Hearing about the 'trailing' strand really helps this stick in my brain! My challenge is a raglan cardigan where I'm not making row gauge. As a result, I have to M1L/R and then on the next row, M1P in those same stitches. Honestly, I can't figure out what I should be picking up. All videos show a clean row where the M1P is over a regular knit stitch. Did you ever demonstrate this technique? Thanks!

Today (might be) the day I know the difference between right & left. For knitting increases at least! Except it's still taking me 5 minutes to purl the M1L...
