How to increase 1 stitch symmetrical
In this DROPS video we show a way to make an symmetrical increase that gives 1 new stitch, we show it twice on the same row.
Follow steps 1-4 below:
1. Loosely slip the first stitch on the left needle onto the right needle as if to purl. Hold the knitting yarn behind the work.
2. Insert the left needle behind the slipped stitch and between the slipped stitch and the first stitch on the right needle.
3. Make a yarn over on the right needle and pull the yarn over through the stitch to make 1 new stitch on the right needle.
4. Drop the outermost part of the stitch off the left needle and then knit the second strand of the stitch through the front loop.
You have now increased 1 stitch
