The Make One Left Increase (M1L)
About This Technique
The Make One Left Increase (M1L) is the complement to the Make One Right Increase (M1R). It is used to add stitches to your knitting and can be used any time a pattern calls for a Make One (M1) Increase. It is a mostly invisible increase that is clean and tight. This particular increase creates a right leaning stitch.
