Increases add stitches to a row to expand the fabric’s width. Different techniques produce different results, such as a visible decorative element or a seamless increase.
Examples:

  • Knit Front and Back (KFB): Creates a small bar below the new stitch, visible but subtle.

  • Make One (M1): Uses the bar between stitches for an invisible increase.

Tip: Use symmetrical increases (one leaning left, the other right) for balanced shaping, especially in garments.
