How to Make Stitches in Your Work

There are several ways to add additional stitches to your work once you have started a project. Three of the most used stitches are the (1) Make one right
(2) Make one left,  and
(3) Make one

They will be shown in a pattern as:
(1) M1R
(2) M1L,  and
(3) M1

In the following video, I am showing an example of all three, but we will go more into depth with the M1R and M1L in a later video. For getting ready to make our sock, you only need to practice the one that I focus on as the easiest M1 stitch. We will be using this one in our sock creation.
    You are very close to starting your lessons to actually start making a sock. We will go over the parts of a sock in our next segment, which will be the last of our practice videos. After that, we will begin making one sock. If you don't have your DK yarn and size 5 needles with either a 32-inch or 40-inch cable, you can purchase those at your favorite yarn shop, or through KnitPicks Yarn.  

Knitter's Pride Zing are also a very nice needle that you can purchase as one fixed circulare rather than as a set. The Zings are only $5.89 for one needle that you will use many times when creating socks. 

Happy Knitting!
