M1L

Knitting

make 1 left

Description

A knitting increase technique that creates a single new stitch leaning to the left.

Detailed explanation

Make 1 Left (M1L) is an increase method used to shape knitted fabric with a leftward slant. This technique creates a new stitch by lifting the bar between stitches and twisting it, which prevents holes from forming in the fabric. It is typically used as the counterpart to Make 1 Right (M1R) to achieve symmetrical shaping in garments.
