Hi, I’m a bit confused about the terms ‘make one’ and ‘increase 1’ are these the same things or will they give different results. Also there seems to be different ways of doing the same things. Thanks for your help. Joe
Make 1 / Increase 1 confusion
Increase one is a general instruction to add a stitch but it doesn’t tell you how to increase. M1 refers to a specific type of increase where the strand between two sts is picked up and worked as a new stitch either M1R or M1L.
There’s a summary of some ways to increase here:
