Double increases add two stitches at once and can be performed by knitting into the front, back, and then the front of a single stitch again, which creates three stitches out of one.

The M1R is completed by lifting the bar between stitches from back to front and knitting into the front loop, causing the new stitch to lean to the right.

This method involves knitting a stitch but leaving it on the left needle, then you insert the right needle into the back loop of the same stitch and knit it again before sliding it off the needle.

KFB involves knitting a stitch as normal but leaving the stitch on the left needle. You then knit into the back of the same stitch before sliding it off. This technique creates two stitches from one.

To perform a cable cast-on, you knit into the stitch on the needle, but instead of dropping the stitch, you place the new loop onto the left needle to create a new stitch. This is repeated for multiple increases.

To perform an M1L, you need to pick up the bar between stitches from front to back and knit into the back of the loop. This creates a new stitch that leans to the left, hence its name.

The backward loop increase is made by simply creating a loop with the working yarn and placing it onto the right needle, which will then be worked as a stitch in the next row.

The knitting on method involves creating a new stitch by inserting the needle into a stitch as if to knit, but you wrap the yarn and pull through a loop before slipping it onto the left needle.

Lifted increases are done by knitting into the row below the stitch on the left needle before knitting the stitch on the needle. There are versions that lean left (LLI) and right (RLI).

This increase adds two stitches symmetrically around a central stitch. You knit into the stitch leaving it on the needle, yarn over, then knit into the same stitch again and finally slide it off.

Creating a YO involves wrapping the yarn over the right needle before knitting the next stitch. This adds an extra loop on the needle, which becomes a new stitch and creates a decorative hole.
