The Easiest Way to Increase Stitches in Knitting

There are a number of ways to increase stitches in knitting – “make 1”, lifted increases, double increase, “knitting front & back”, etc. Some of those increases are more challenging than the others, but what way is the easiest of them all?

In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at two ridiculously simple ways to add a new stitch to the work. One of these ways results in creating a hole. The other way adds a new stitch almost invisibly. Both ways are variations of the good old yarn over.

Let’s see how each of these ways works step by step.

The fact that these increases are so easy to make doesn’t mean that they can’t be used in advanced knitting projects. Yarn over increases are as good as any other way to increase stitches and there is nothing wrong in using them whenever you need to add a new stitch to the work, whether it is a simple shawl or a fancy sweater with sophisticated shaping.
