Which Increase Should I Use?

[akornblau]

Greetings,

I am working on a baby sweater. I will be working in stockinette st, and for part of the sleeves, I will need to increase 1 st at each side every 4th row, 9 times.

From my reading online and in knitting reference books, the M1L (Make One Left)/M1R (Make One Right) increase and the Bar increase need to be done one or more stitches in.

Do you have any suggestions regarding an increase I can use for the first and last stitch of a row?

Thank you,

Amy

Whichever you prefer - you can use kfb or one of the M1 increases, or KLL/KRL - all of which are shown on the Increases page.
