After trying several methods of increased stitches (without the hole being intentional) this is the neatest, least observable method I've come across. Thanks ever so much!

Very thorough and very concise. Thank you for showing a simple method for completing the stitch, and also showing how it looks. A superior sample

Love your videos!! You teach the way I learn! I need to know the whys to stitches and you provide that explanation!! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise 💕💕

Thank you for sharing the information and making such easy to understand tutorials. I love it when you visit and you are here so often. Thank you.

Dear Suzanne, your explanations are absolutely perfect!

Thank you very much for showing in a very easy and smooth way to understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for such a clear, simple explanation. I'm working on an Interweave pattern which calls for a bit of shaping in the waist area with a few decreases then several inches later increases back to the original stitch count. Your video was clear and concise and the increases look really good. Thanks so much!

Very well explained! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, this was extremely helpful, I have been making gloves recently, they look like gloves and fit, but had no clue what I was doing, I will deffo use these increasing techniques in the next one. Thanks again MASSIVELY>

Very helpful and clear instructions. Thanks.

Thanks for the refresher... I haven't worked a M1O since Level 1!

Love this instruction, thanks!

Again, thanks so much for the help. Now I know what I'm doing wrong in my shawl--making an M1 Open instead of a M1R!!! You're the best!

Loved this! Thank you!!

Wonderful videos. Thank you very much 😊

Thanks for this! I've watched other videos. (??) Your demo and explanation made it easier to grasp. :)

Right to the point!!

Thanks again🌹

Dear Susan, you videos and patterns are awesome, I learned a lot , thank you I want to ask , as you explain in your video, there is a small hole, under the M1 row, not so big , however noticeable especially with stocckinette , is it ok to change this "M1" with "KFB" since they are both makes 1 increase ( asking this for stuffed animal patterns , dont like the M1 hole on them ) ssincerealy

Suzzanne I bless the day I discovered your Chanel. You are skillful teacher with best style. On M1L, how do I prevent a hole appearing ? I am knitting gloves on # 6 needles forming the gusset. I’ve used this method previously and not had a problem I do not understand why I’m getting this hole and they’ll be a whole roll of them I appreciate an answer thank you very much

Thank you Suzanne for your teaching. What a treasure trove. I have a question. When did the past tense of the verb to knit lose the last two letters? Is this use, as in ' last week I knit a sweater', a recent change, or has this been a part of American English for a long time. It sounds strange to me. I am from Scotland. I miss the use of the word 'knitted'.

Which increase works best with cotton yarn? I'm finding that my usually undetectable increases (not mirrored) have a more slightly pronounced gap that if I use wool. Since this is on the face of a stuffed bear it is more noticeable that what I prefer. I cannot use wool due to allergies of the recipient of the bear.

Additional info on previous comment regarding alcohol on M1L. I Will be making M1L Every other row

I’m doing a M1R followed by a purl stitch, in the round, and my M1R are so loose leaving horrible gaps, any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

When I K1, M1L to create a slanted neckline I'm finding it makes the edge tension really irregular with one very small edge stitch and then an enlarged one the next row? It means when I pick up for the neckline the enlarged stitch leaves a big hole... Any idea where I am going wrong with the increase?

If your pattern only says m1 whats the process please which one of these do they mean a make one how Steven West just casts them one on in his video tortorials? Or how Skeino and Borgue says to think of it as an MB - a "make 1 from the bar below." The question becomes it seems to me is it just about adding without notice. So are you better not connecting it to bar I dont belive thatbleaves a hole? Not certain. Or fabric/from the row below mwking a hole for certain. I assume there is a if not otherwise written do this like slipping purl wise if not stated. Thanks so much. I am challenging myself and working my first pattern without any video tortorials. I guess the question boils down to is the quick instruction just that to just quickly add another live stitch on your needles and not put much thought into it so just cast it on and go on?!?

Thank you so much. That was very helpful. Can you please explain 3knit (*) 3knit(*) ...

Now i understand why sometimes I get an unintentional hole in my M1.

If a pattern just says M1.... do you knit a m1L or M1R? It isn’t specified
