Increase §

• M1. How I remember the direction between M1L/M1R:
  • M1L: the yarn looks left leaning when putting the bar to the left needle; then knit through the back loop
  • M1R: the yarn looks right leaning when putting the bar to the left needle; then knit through the front loop
• Knit front back(kfb): often used decoratively or at the end of rows because it’s more visible
