[FONT=“Times New Roman”]I have never knitted a sweater and was reading over a pattern to see if I could knit it, when I came to this:[/FONT] Increase Round [inc rnd]:
K3, m1, k to last 3 stst before next marker, m1, k6, m1, k to last 3 sts before next market, m1, k3.
Repeat inc rnd every 4th rnd to 148[158,168,178] sts, then every 6th rnd to 160[170,180,190] sts.
[FONT=“Times New Roman”]Will someone tell me what the m1 means?[/FONT]
Make 1. Check out the Glossary tab at the top of the page. There are accompanying vids for this inc.

The glossary and videos will be of help as Cam said. It is usually one of the lifted increases, that means picking up the strand between stitches and working it so that it twists. Or it can be a simple backward loop over the right hand needle. I use that for a M1 a lot of the time. I found it is not a good one to use for toys where you are going to stuff the item because it causes the slight hole to enlarge.
Here’s another website that also shows how to do a Make One:
