Thank you! I think I got it down now lol I have been looking everywhere and I just couldn't get the hang of it, but I think your video really helped! Thank you again!!
Boy, this sure clears up a problem I've been having with a pattern! Thanks so much for posting it. But also, my pattern says to "mk1R" and "mk1L" at the beginning and end of each row (ear flaps on a chullo hat). Do you know what the R and L might mean? Unfortunately, the pattern maker is unavailable for comment.
@mzimmmerly The M1 stitch I show in this video (at least the very first one) is a M1L - a left leaning make 1 stitch. For M1L, you pick up the yarn and put it on the left hand needle in the same orientation as the other stitches, and then knit through the back loop. For M1R, you pick up the yarn, put it on the left hand needle NON-stitch wise (it will look funny) and then knit "normally" to create the twisted stitch. I don't have time to make a video now, but I will try to soon.
ok guys, but what's the purpose to increase or increase. For instance if I want to make a project where there are hearts, then is there where I will need increase or decrease stiches. Thank you.
@supermelodia Usually a pattern will indicate where you need to have increases of decreases. Increases and decreases help with contouring. If you are knitting a ball (a sphere), you will be increasing stitches at one end, and then decreasing stitches at the other. The M1 stitch is one method of increasing stitches.
THANK YOU so much! I watched maybe 10 other videos and they kept saying "knit it through the back" but didn't explain what that meant or why we had to do it. You're the only one who gave me the information I needed to understand what I was trying to accomplish here. Great job!
Thanks so much for the tutorial on this stitch. I knew there was a difference to Inc1 and M1 but I didn't know exactly. You have a very clear voice and explain things very well.

Yes indeedy---that makes perfect sense, and the results are just what this ear flap needs to look symetrical. Thanks so much for your quick response!
