i’m a new knitter and i’ve been researching and practicing techniques so i can make a cardigan as a 1st wearable. i cant tell you how excited I am to find your channel- not only do you clearly show and describe what you’re doing, you explain WHY and the differences that can be achieved by crossing yarn etc. I’m so excited to learn everything I can from you!!
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!
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!
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 💕💕
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 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>
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
Hi Elegant791! Because of the stretch in stuffed animals, this can become an issue. I have a video with a variety of increase that may assist you. As always, I would swatch different options to see what works best for you. 😊 Here is the video link. ua-cam.com/video/L_Hu5d6ExdM/v-deo.html
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.
Fro each person, the answer may be different. I would make a swatch, like the one in this video and try all the increases that you know and see which one you like the best.
I have tried to mimic this on my own needles, but do not get the same results as you. Maybe your purls are bigger and that yarn is getting pulled into the increase. I answered you in my Facebook group as well. Let us know how it turns out.
Thank you Maureen Lewicki! Happy knitting. Be sure to check out my new channel for live-streaming - Suzanne - Off the Cuff ua-cam.com/channels/QBgFUvQzjz1RUm9NsgEA1A.html
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?
Alexandra, if you go over to my Facebook group, Knitting with Suzanne Bryan, you can post a picture and I can take a look and see if I can help you better.
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?!?
Typically a M1 is made from the bar below. You can always go to craftyarncouncil.com to see a list of the recognized standard abbreviations and what they mean. Great question.

That's wonderful!

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
You are so welcome, Darice! Thanks so much for the great feedback! ❤️
Dear Suzanne, your explanations are absolutely perfect!
Many thanks, Nicole! I appreciate your feedback! ❤️

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.
So nice of you to say, Marie, thank you!

You are very welcome Ms64Susan! Happy knitting.
Thank you very much for showing in a very easy and smooth way to understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You're very welcome!
Very well explained! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome, H G! I appreciate the feedback! 😊
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!
Perfect. Happy Knitting!
Thanks for the refresher... I haven't worked a M1O since Level 1!
Thanks Scott.
Additional info on previous comment regarding alcohol on M1L.
I Will be making M1L Every other row

I miss the use of the word 'knitted'.
What an interesting question. In English the word knit has two acceptable past tense forms, knit and knitted. They are both acceptable.
Very helpful and clear instructions. Thanks.
Thank you!
Thanks for this! I've watched other videos. (??) Your demo and explanation made it easier to grasp. :)
Wonderful missree1995! Happy Knitting.
Wonderful videos. Thank you very much 😊
Glad you like them, Lisa, thanks so much for watching! 😊

Right to the point!!
Thank you.
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?
I have tried to mimic this on my own needles, but do not get the same results as you. Maybe your purls are bigger and that yarn is getting pulled into the increase. I answered you in my Facebook group as well. Let us know how it turns out.
Love this instruction, thanks!

Trudy Schwartz-Burrill I u
You
Thank you so much. That was very helpful. Can you please explain 3knit (*) 3knit(*) ...
I am not sure what you mean. Can you restate this?
Now i understand why sometimes I get an unintentional hole in my M1.
Exactly. Happy knitting.
If a pattern just says M1.... do you knit a m1L or M1R? It isn’t specified
When it is not specified, then you must choose. Try it on a swatch first to see which you prefer. 🧶
