The KFB increase is an easy increase to work, and my personal favorite. This alternative way of working the stitch leaves you with a smoother fabric, minus the “purl bump”.
I mention the VeryPink Knits audio podcast, which can be found here, or in your favorite podcast app.
A regular KFB is worked this way.
The needles I use in this video are Lykke interchangeables.
The yarn I use is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky.
My nail polish is by Julep, color “Charissa”.
I like this increase technique, Staci. Thanks for the video. The same can used for a purl increase, right? Have you tried it on the “wrong” side of the work?
k1sl, knit 1 slip sounds like a good shorthand
How about p1sl? purl 1 slip?
David – I haven’t tried it, but yes, I believe this will work fine for a pfb increase – great idea!

Oh, I really like the look of that stitch. Thanks.
It’s almost (but not quite) a lifted increase – my current favorite.
I love this, but don’t need it on anything I”m knitting right now. Dare I start another project so I can burn this into my memory?
Thanks Staci! Great educational video – posted it on my “All Free Knitting Rav Group” and they are also sending glowing feedback! I hope all is well with your “eyes” now…
