How to M1R (make one right) and M1L (make one left) Knitting Increase

The M1R knitting increase is really similar to the M1L increase. In fact, they're two sides of the same coin!
Both the M1R and M1L are techniques that will increase your knitting by one stitch. The only difference is the direction of the increase. The M1R increase slants to the right, while the M1L slants to the left.
Sometimes a knitting pattern will simply ask you to "M1" (aka. "make one"). In these situations, you can knit an M1R or an M1L. It's totally up to you.
While working an M1R or M1L, you might wonder why you need to slip the strand of yarn from one needle to another. It seems complicated, right?
The purpose of picking from the back or front and slipping to and fro is to ensure that the strand of yarn is TWISTED. This ensures that the increased stitch does not have a big hole in it. That extra twist keeps the stitch tight.
So, when you knit into your twisted stitch, you should feel a bit of resistance. If the picked-up stitch is loose, then you know that you haven't twisted the stitch properly.

I love ALL you videos. I still have to refer to this video everytime I have to switch back and forth from M1R to M1L, but I'm a newbie knitter. Your videos have taught me to knit at age 67😊

I'm so glad someone gets that we have to actually SEE the stitches! Thank you for using a light color of yarn, good lighting, and especially HUGE yarn and needles. Just watched another video and they were using black yarn and about a 3.5 mm needles, it was extremely difficult to see what was actually happening. This was crystal clear and I love that you give 2 ways to do each increase. Also appreciate that the video gets right to the point and doesn't make us listen to you talk about your vacation or your pet, etc. A PERFECT VIDEO in my opinion.

I'm really loving all of your tutorials! They are very clear and have helped me learn to knit with confidence, so thank you so much for making and sharing these :) I think the aspect that has been the most challenging is learning to read the patterns with the brackets and asterisks and all and trying to wrap my head around what's happening next (admittedly, I sometimes find patterns challenging in sewing as well and I have much more experience there).

Thanks so much! Something about your cadence and humor made it so much easier for me to get. I have ADHD, so learning new things with knitting at times can be really frustrating. I’m making my first pair of fingerless mitts and have just gotten to the thumb gusset-gah! Your video clicked for me more than any other, so thank you. Subscribed!

@Tigress000 Жыл бұрын

How funny, I found this video to learn the stitches for fingerless gloves- and dealing with thumb gusset too! I agree about it being a good video for the stitches. I've been knitting for years, but I'm self taught so these videos when I try out new projects are ideal to help with the less common stitches! Even without ADHD, some people way over- complicate their instructions and make things confusing. This video explained the stitches very well.

So glad you're knitting a scarf! Knitting is definitely intimidating at first, but once your hands get the hang of it, it'll seem like the most natural thing in the world thanks to muscle memory! Anyway, thanks for sharing and good luck knitting!

Just knitting a thumb for mittens and it uses these stitches. Great video! I watched 2 others and the never explained that putting on the bar different directions is even there, they just say to pick up the bar argggg. Glad I found your video for it because wow it’s great! Also is there an easy way to remember which direction to pick up the bar for which side and also which direction to put your needle into the stitch? Like a poem or something to make it easy to remember? Maybe I’m over thinking it too much lol. Thanks so much!

Okay. I am back. I can't find ONE tutorial that helps with the impossible task of doing "M1L, M1R" as written. Meaning NO knit stitch in between. I am doing a pattern that requires this for the shoulders- every knit-side row. I can't get my needle in to do the M1R after just doing an M1L. Even loosening my prior row, it is still impossible. Can you do a video on this issue? I know there are "tricks" to give yourself a little more "bar" to work with...
