Flip-Top Mittens question **question added**

[knitqueen]

A quick question. I finished the cuff ribbing for mitten #1 and am now doing the increasing for thumb gusset.

I got the first increase row fine, now when I repeat the increases every 3rd row 4 times, just need some clarification.

The first increase you K14, M1R, place marker, K1, M1L, K to end of rnd. After that it says to increase one stitch before and after marked stitch. Does that mean:

a) K to 1st before marker, M1R, slip marker, M1L
OR
b) K to 1st before marker, M1R, slip marker, K1, M1L

Thanks!

I haven't worked this pattern yet - I plan to - but I have come across this sort of increase in other patterns. I'm pretty sure option a is what you want to do.
