- Make 1 Right (m1r) - make one stitch by lifting the strand between the needles with the left needle tip (back to front) and knit the lifted loop through the front.
- Make 1 Left (m1l) - make one stitch by lifting the strand between the needles with the left needle tip (front to back) and knit the lifted loop through the back.
