The best way is to knit the bar between the stitches. This is known as a 'bar increase', and there are how-to's and videos online.

If you pull your knitting apart slightly, you'll see a bar just beneath the point on the needles where you are knitting. Put your right needle under this bar, lift it up and put it on your left needle. Knit it as normal. Ta-da! Now you have one more stitch.

How do you do a m1 k1 m1 in a row of knitting?

To perform a m1 k1 m1 in a row of knitting, start by making a "make one" (m1) stitch, which involves lifting the yarn between the stitches and knitting into it to create an extra stitch. Next, knit one stitch (k1) as usual. Finally, make another m1 in the same way as the first, lifting the yarn between the newly knitted stitch and the next stitch to create another extra stitch. This sequence adds two new stitches to your row.

What is yo in knitting?

In knitting, a "yo," or yarn over, is a technique used to create an additional stitch and increase the number of stitches on the needle. It involves bringing the yarn over the needle from back to front before the next stitch is knitted. This creates a small hole in the fabric, which can add decorative elements or serve a functional purpose in lace knitting. Yarn overs are often used in various stitch patterns and designs.

How do you make a tomboy stitch?

A tomboy stitch is also known by other names: French knitting, i-cord, or tomboy stitch. You can make your own "french knitting" machine, by using Popsicle sticks (as is done in one of the attached links), and I have seen knitting machines to make i-cords, which is another name for tomboy stitch. I have also found another type of cord--a Lucet cord, which is more of a squared cord, rather than a round cord. Attached is a link to a YouTube video for making a Lucet cord.


Why doesnt my knitting stay straight?

Assuming you are doing stockinette stitch (knit the front side and purl the back side), your knitting is curling because that's precisely what stockinette stitch does. To make it stop, put a band of garter stitch (knit the front side AND the back side) or ribbing around the piece and that will make it lie flat.


In knitting what is skpo?
