Another way to tell if you've picked up the bar of yarn running between the stitches correctly (from the front or the back, if you forget the mnemonic) is that the front leg of the new loop on the left needle should lean to the left for M1L, and to the right for M1R. As for which way to insert the right needle to properly twist the increase as you knit it - if it's easy, you're doing it wrong (actually, the right needle must go in pointing left for M1L and pointing right for M1R).
Here is the question. What am I missing? So, the pattern I started shows Row 1(rs) - k4 M1L knit to last 4 sts, M1R, k4 Row 2(ws)- k4, M1R knit to last 4, M1L, p4 On Row2, after knitting 4sts, where I have to do M1R, the strand is doubled because what I did on the first row. It makes a little hole. Is this right to you? I am confused... The pattern does not mention anything about the double strands. Please help!

Thank you so much for teaching the continental style as well. I'm working on your Musselburgh hat and this was super helpful.

Great tuto, I especially appreciated the comparaison between M1R first or M1L first for mirrored increases. Thanks !
Perfect. Wonderful explanation!!!! ❤. Thank you for sharing
thank you, this was really clear. Made my first M hat. for my son. He really likes it.
Thank you 🧶😊
Just missing the Portuguese style. Big hug from Portugal ❤
I'm not sure you want to see me try to demo that!
