The most important part of knitting is the creation of new stitches. There are many ways to create an increase stitch. Some increases are virtually invisible while others cause distinctive effects in the fabric. This information will help you make better knitting choices. It is essential to be able to read a given pattern. Understanding the types of increases used in a pattern will help you understand the designer's intent.
There are two types of increases most commonly: single increases and double raises. Double increases are when you add two more stitches to an existing piece of work. Double increases add three new stitches to an already existing stitch. In either case, you work the new stitches into the strand that is between the existing stitches. Both increases go into the back loop of each stitch and tighten it. Some increases are more subtle than others. Others slant to the left or right. It can be difficult to identify a pattern due to these differences.
One of the easiest methods to increase a stitch is with single increases. These increases are typically worked on one side of the work. These increases are also the most versatile. They can be used to increase or decrease the number of stitches at the end of a row.
The M1 increase is another common increase. It is used to increase the length of a garment's edge. It's a horizontal loop made of yarn and is between the stitch on one needle and the last stitch that was knitted off the other. M1 increases are usually required when a pattern calls for an increase. There are two main types of M1R M1L increases. The M1L is thought of as the default M1 stitch, but the M1R is easier to learn.
Bar increases are another popular option for increasing stitches. They are best done on the knit, but can also be worked on both the purl and knit sides. These are sometimes called "make-one" increases. They create a bar that falls to the left of the increase. They are very easy to work, and are sometimes used in place of knit front and back increases. They are great for creating decorative holes in lace and can be very decorative. Depending on the fabric, they may be more noticeable or less visible than a tighter increase.
Knit front and back increases, twisting stitches and a knit back slip back are all other increases. These increases are worked by knitting into the same stitch twice, and they help to eliminate a bar from the standard knit front and back. The twisting stitch looks a lot like a wheat sheaf. These increases are popular for beginner knitters.
The increase stitches are an essential part of knitting. Understanding them can help to better understand the designers' intentions. Some increases are concealed in seams. Others are visible and cause a bump to the fabric. You can read patterns and make better knitting decisions by understanding the different types.
