[section padding=”0px”] [row style=”small”] [col span__sm=”12″]

This increase is is created by knitting into the front and back of a stitch. It is sometimes known as a “bar increase” because of the bump that follows the knit stitch.

Knit a stitch but leave the old stitch on the left needle (Figure 1). Bring the right needle to the back of the work and knit the same stitch through the back loop (Figure 2). Drop the stitch off the left needle (Figure 3).
