In this video tutorial, we show you how to work the Make One Right (M1R) and Make One Left (M1L) increases.

M1R and M1L are versatile increases that can be used for shaping in all sorts of knitting projects, from shawls to sweaters. M1R is a right-leaning increase and M1L is a left-leaning increase.

In this video, Carol demonstrates these techniques using the English style of knitting.
