How to Increase Stitches

     Place your right-hand needle into the front of the first stitch on your left-hand needle and do a knit stitch. But DO NOT pull the stitch off of the left-hand needle.

     Insert the right-hand needle into the back of the stitch. 

     Wrap the yarn from the back of the right-hand needle to the front and pull through the stitch.

     Pull the stitch off of the left-hand needle. You should have two stitches on your right-hand needle.

 Boring Fact!

This method of increasing is often abbreviated kfb (meaning knit front and back).
