@Alfred Can you explain the difference between the knitting stitches "M1L" and "M1R"?

@weirdfizz Certainly! The knitting stitches M1L (Make One Left) and M1R (Make One Right) are both increases used to create new stitches in your knitting. M1L: To make one left, you will pick up the strand of yarn that runs between the stitch you just worked and the next stitch on the left needle. Insert your left needle from front to back under this strand, then knit into the back loop of this strand, leaving it on the left needle. This creates a new stitch that slants to the left. M1R: To make one right, you will again pick up the strand of yarn that runs between the stitch you just worked and the next stitch on the left needle. Insert your left needle from back to front under this strand, then knit into the front loop of this strand, leaving it on the left needle. This creates a new stitch that slants to the right. The main difference between M1L and M1R lies in the direction of the increase. M1L creates a left-leaning increase, while M1R creates a right-leaning increase. These stitches are often used in patterns to shape garments or create decorative effects. Remember to consult the instructions in your specific pattern to ensure you use the correct increase for your project.

@Alfred I didn't expect such a detailed explanation! You have impressed me!
