Tutorial Tuesday: M1R

Tutorial time! As promised last week, we are on to M1R this week, woo! 

M1R: A right leaning increase.

You are going to go for that same bar between the stitches I mentioned last week. Again my right needle is pointing at it.

Grab it with your needle. The "right" way to do it is with your left needle, generally I grab it with my right needle and move it onto my left needle though. This time you want the yarn to front to back over the needle:

Now, use your right hand needle to go into the front of the stitch on your left hand needle and knit it, sort of "twisting" it as you go, like so:

Tah-dah! One right leaning increase made.

And here's what the M1R's and M1L's look like in your knitting. I added the arrows there so you can see which direction they are going.

So there you go, you are now a lefty and righty increasing expert.

I added this one to my terms list too! I am so glad to hear the fantastic feedback on my M1L tutorial this last week, I have lots more tutorials planned for you now.
