K1below help

How-to Questions
1

I am a fairly new knitter and have only made pretty simple things so far (with help of the great videos on this site - imagine me sitting frowning in front of the computer with my knitting trying to work stitiches out).

Anyway, I am now planning to knit a baby cardigan and one of the stitches is k1below and I am stuck as I can’t find a video here! I’ve seen a couple of pictures on the internet but can anyone point me in the direction of some good clear instructions as I still haven’t got the knack!

Thanks

Is it an increase? If so look at the videos for increases here on KH and it’s the KRL increase. One of my favorites!

I found this the other day.

If it’s kind of a rib stitch pattern, it’s not an increase. Look on the glossary page for a video under k1b, and there are instructions and pictures on this page - Knitting Fiend Fisherman’s Rib

This

is a fab example of what to do in simple terms I can understand - thank you!

And thanks also for the other replies.

There’s a difference if the pattern says ‘knit into the stitch below’ or ‘inc by knitting into the stitch below’. The increase usually gives a little more detail. The full link to Techknitter’s blog is http://techknitting.blogspot.com/2008/12/knitting-into-stitch-below.html and gives a good illustration of it too.
