My First Post!!!

I am attempting my first sweater out of Rebecca 27. Question: What type of increase should I use? Pattern reads: Cont in st-st working 4 rows white, then cont in black, inc 1 st. at each end of every 8th row twice. I’m thinking I would use the M1L, M1R increase but should I knit 1 stitch first, then do the increase? Or…am I not using the correct increase? Any help is so greatly appreciated!
Thanks

M1L or M1R would be perfect. I’d place the increases one stitch in from the edge, so at the beginning of the row, K1 then increase, and at the end of the row work until there is 1 stitch left, increase then K1.
