M1L: Make 1 Left Slant
When a pattern says, "M1" but does not specify L or R, use this.


Using your left needle, pick up the top strand that goes between the needles from fromt to back.


Knit the loop you picked up through the back.


There it is. Work with Work M1R a central stitch to have mirrored increases.
