#Decide which increase you're going to use. There are several increase stitches, and while you can pick one and use it all the time, you will achieve the best effect if you learn them all. If possible, use the increase mentioned in the pattern. If the pattern doesn't mention an increase, or uses the nebulous "M1" (which can mean one of several types of increases) you must choose the increase type. Your choice will determine the overall appearance, whether there is a hole, a bar or seamless knitting left behind. Each has its place, so learn them all. | #Decide which increase you're going to use.
