How To: Make 1 (M1)

[@katzwhite5962]

Thank you so much. No awful music, no talking about other things, good camera angle, good repetition of the procedure, NO SPEEDED UP video.👍🏾🙂

[@TheKiwibirder]

Excellent! You got right to the point, explained clearly and simply, showed the process twice, and were done. I wish all tutorial videos were this well-made. Usually they are far too long, with too much talking leading up to the actual skill that’s being demonstrated, or so fast you have to replay them 10 times to see what is happening. This one is perfect.

[@nayenaye1331]

Well said, I agree. Straight to the point and slow enough to fully get the grasp of what you’re explaining. Thank you!

[@michellebradshaw4350]

Totally agree!

[@eleanorhobbs8948]

I have not found your method in any of my knitting books. I like the fact that you don't get a hole. Your explanation and demonstration are excellent. I have looked this video up over and over again, and I now have it bookmarked. Thank you

[@paulinebladen925]

10/10 Thank you for only explainIng what to do but for also taking the time to explain it in a clear visual demonstration..

[@cthulia]

This is the clearest video on this that I could find, thank you so much.

[@anacarvalho5539]

Such a well explained video, accompanied by a great " to be seen" yarn color, speech well paced and intoned and well focused lens on the details.

[@valeriaswanne]

Thank you! I was memorizing some book patterns at Joanne's and realized I did not know what M1 meant! So easy! I've been doing this by accident from time to time 😂

[@cmp3cmp3]

Thank you so much. You saved my sanity. I thought M1 meant increase on a stitch and this knocked my pattern totally out and increased my stitch count by the same number of M1’s. It’s so clear and so well explained. Thanks so much.

[@pabo30]

Excellent tutorial: close-up view, plain background, minimal dialogue, slow enough to follow, repeats. Thanks.

[@TheSteelydanfan]

I needed a reminder of how to do M1, thanks for the clear information!!

[@jorjahael8724]

Thank you, you did it slowly and spoke clearly with out sounding condisending, bless you.

[@patriciaedwards5653]

Thank you. Very nicely explained. I return to this video often as I frequently forget😊. One of my bootie patterns use this. And you know I will be returning in a few months. Thank you

[@emilyjackson4089]

Your video is very easy to follow, instructions are clear, and I am now confident in my m1. Thanks!

[@kaelaleedaley]

Thank you and God Bless you for your clear, excellent instruction! Happy Knitting, everyone :D xx

[@kimmccall9264]

Thank you so much for this simple tutorial! It really helped me to understand what the verbal instructions ment!

[@betha.ostrander4127]

LOVE! Precise, SLOW to show us how, but a fast video. Terrific! Subscribed! (Just started knitting again, so need to brush up on my stitches.)

[@ninja5411]

Very clear and concise . Thank you for showing both sides of the stitch !

[@daniellen2016]

thank you for this! I've been avoiding m1 for so long but you made it easy

[@janiedawes3647]

This was perfect instruction for me! Slow, clear and easily visible! I am working with super bulky yarn on US 19 needles and I AM getting a bit of a hole but your instructions are clear and I hope the holes won’t be too visible in the long run! Thank You!

[@rumphius46]

Thank you. Wasn't sure how to lift bar onto left needle from back or front.Thank you for explaining and illustrating so well. Problem solved.

[@alicefreeman1888]

Thank you so much. It was so easy to learn from your tutorial. I am just learning.

[@sandrabaker3013]

Agree with other comments, to the point, clear instructions, thank you for sharing. 😀

[@sandraseroskie552]

Like you instruction easy to understand new to knitting thanks

[@AFrayedKnotCrochet]

Yayyy!! Straight to the point and very easy to see and learn this stitch. Thank you! 😁

[@pennyb2245]

And thanks to your comment at the end of the video I now know why I have a hole on both sides! Thanks I’ll follow your instructions this time around:).

[@beaulieuc8910]

brilliant, that is all I wanted to know just needed a refresher

[@karenbryant4541]

Thank you for getting to the point and being informative 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@jskim.9122]

Thank you for the clear and to-the point instructions. A question: I've seen M1r(right leaning) and M1l(left leaning). When instructions have just M1, which one is it asking for?

[@ptashkaful]

Wonderful clear instructions. Great for absolute beginners like myself. Thank you!

[@patandywilliams5986]

[@trudesclayton3884]

Just wanted to say your clip was so helpful x

[@scottythecat2390]

Perfectly clear and well explained! Thank you!

[@kathyyosten1497]

You make it so clear on want to do. Great job.

[@sharonwebb945]

When making a blanket and it calls for m1, does it matter if it’s m1 right or m1 left? Some people doing an m1right pick up From front with left needle, slip it onto left needle back to front then knit into back, but you picked up front with left then knitted into back. It looks like it doesn’t matter as long as you knit into the back??? Is that right?

[@rosemason2071]

My patter has 2st on the needle. Directions say k1, m1, k1, m1. How do i make one after the last stitch has been knit off?

[@Bearmac69]

How do you M1 purlwise?

[@shaunawerner5986]

Simple and clear, thank you so much for this video. Perfect.

[@lordtj63]

Bless you... can you please explain what you do with a "K0" or a "P0" stitch in cable knit pattern (not graph or chart)? Do you slip it, Drop it? Knit two together? I mean something has to be done with it surely, it cant just be left on the needle? There are no video's on here explaining this complicated process in printed commercial patterns". Thank you for any help on this.

[@drewhudson6690]

Thank you - This has worked like a treat for me. Very clear and easy. Thank you again. :)

[@nicolei21]

Thank you, out of all the youetub tutorials on this subject, this one is the most clear. Very helpful.

[@eglosas007]

[@PTHsueh]

Finally learn how to M1 for increasing one stitch.

[@barbaradawson6762]

Thank you! Easy to follow directions!

[@מלכהשוורץ]

I am left handed is the m1 the same while knitting?

[@lynetteadams5125]

I knew I could find my answer on this site! Thanks for the knitting help!

[@FroggyFish40]

This is great, thanks very much. I'll be using this stitch on my current knitting project sweater sleeves!

[@MagnificentMurphy]

I kept getting a hole in my knitting until I watched your video. I was not making the last stitch carefully. I got it now. Thanks for such clear instruction 😃

[@maurahutchinson2359]

Precise and informative

[@Jan-so3cn]

Very clear and easy to follow, I just have to try it now 😬

[@susanstevenson4025]

Thank you! Nice clear instructions at my speed!

[@lalitamescalita5163]

Brilliantly simple tutorial! Thank you!

[@elizabethhenson9954]

I love your video.can you do one where it shows you how to do a m1r,and a m1left.i am struggling.

[@colenemyers8537]

Thank you do you have a trick for losing the gap when binding off for armholes???

[@kymi1]

Thank you this was very informative and just what I needed

[@jeyart94]

what does it mean when it says ''p to m''?

[@micramikasa3116]

Lovely clear instructions and very helpful thank you.

[@artbynasrin]

[@jeanbudgell7015]

Thank you so very much ❤ now I know how to make 1👍🌹🙏

[@alisondennis4098]

Great demo using English style knitting.

[@smallfootprint2961]

I'm a beginner so this is very helpful.

[@FansiPerdanaPutri]

Thank you, very informative! But I am wondering whats the difference between M1 and KFB? Both is for making increases.

[@reliza93]

Fansi Perdana Putri true! please someone answer this question

[@lauramckellar]

Fansi Perdana Putri make 1 you create a new stitch between 2 stitches, knit front and back you make 2 stitches from 1, make 1 is more of an invisible increase, hope this helps

Thank you. That was beautifully described.

[@meganwilkie5319]

So I'm reading a pattern which looks like this CO 2 sts Row 1: knit Row 2: k1, m1-3sts Row 3: k1,m1,k1-4sts So my question is, what do I do with the stitch that is remaining on my left needle after row 2? Am I just supposed to knit it? I'm confused. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

[@eleanormason2647]

I would say just knit it, as there are no other instructions like increasing/ decreasing etc

[@seraphinalea]

All the M1 videos seem to be in stockinette stitch, I haven't found on for garter st :(

[@historianKelly]

seraphinalea It doesn't matter what pattern you're making - the only thing that matters is whether you're making a knit stitch or a purl stitch. If you see M1 in a pattern, you're making knit stitches. If you're working in the Garter stitch, you're making only knit stitches. So this is all that matters. All patterns are going to give instructions for either knit stitches or purl stitches, and the entirety of the pattern is then your pattern stitch.

[@debraroinestad]

Love the tutorial! Thank-you. :)

[@miraclegal55]

What about on the purl side?

[@IntegrityMatters77]

Great review of M1 thank you.

[@ellenstaley7219]

great teacher really helped me .Thankyou

[@darthlobster]

Thank you for such a clear video!

[@CassieDA17]

So M1 is really a M1L?

[@elliemayr9833]

Thank you for this easy explanation,

[@beategravel5349]

well I am doing the week 3 for Knitting the most boring stitch I have ever done, that is why I gave up knitting because of all the boring stitches.....Last year I did cables much more exciting then the stuff I am doing now, But I am almost done another square to do then hopefully the stitches will become more exciting on week 4

[@gloriaperconti4878]

Love it! Thank you for sharing.❤️

[@girbska]

Thanks a lot for sharing! very useful and clear.

[@everykoala2302]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@chawntelh]

This actually looks like a M1 Left...?

[@murcielago--1]

Thank you for the video.

[@sandyb8557]

Thank you for showing us to Make 1 - but I didn't hear you say if that was a Ml L or Ml R ? Sandra

[@charityheikes2593]

She's making a M1L (left) here.

[@igobymanynames1684]

Why don't you just pick the loop up with your left needle and save the faff?

[@claireelder8375]

Thanks! So helpful keep it up :D

[@lggarzagl]

super helpful, thanks!

[@pennyc.6728]

thank u... my problem of holes is solved ta da

[@seraphinalea]

Hi there! Thank you for this great video! I'm trying to knit a friend a little ninja, and this is the first time i've come across M1 (im a scarf girl :3) the thing is is that i'm working in garter stitch, and i feel i'm doing M1 right, but I always get holes? Can you please help me? I only have a few days to make this little guy before he leaves!

[@KDNY518]

seraphinalea you need to knit through the back of the loop otherwise you get a hole

[@jeannette8474]

@@KDNY518 help me please🙏 M1 is M1R?? thanks🙌

[@nostress8159]

I think you should told us that it will Lean to the left.

[@MaureenPetit-o1p]

Thank you !❤

[@yelloworangered]

Why don't you pick up the 'bar" with the left needle? Then it would be in the right position for knitting with the right-hand needle?

[@charityheikes2593]

It's part of the magic of M1L or M1R, when picking up the bar we have to literally knit it from the direction that feels wrong. Watch other tutorials, they say if it feels wrong you're doing it right. ;)

[@historianKelly]

Less chance of 1) picking up the bar going in the wrong direction, or twisting it, which is actually easy to do, and 2) stitches slipping off your left needle, or either needle, as you dip down to catch that bar. While I understand it looks like wasted movement, when you're actually knitting, it makes more sense.

[@yaelziv115]

Excellent! Very clear

[@maquelquerry6206]

Great tutorial!

[@lindamanas954]

Nice and clear!

[@meltingthemoon]

Perfect! Thank you!

[@yvettemaldonado3725]

Thank you! So much! 😍

[@everlastingpat]

Why not just pick it up with the left needle? Picking it up o the right and transferring to the left just seems like wasted steps as well as wasted time since it will end up in the same position.

[@Bearmac69]

Why do this, why not just increase one, why do you need to do this

[@sdfmills9909]

Am wondering the same thing.

[@meylaguapa]

I was wondering the same question about the purl!

[@deborahlong4291]

Thank you, very clear.
