How to Knit KLL in 2 Cases (when the row below is K or P row)

In knitting patterns, this stitch is usually abbreviated with “KLL” – Knit left loop. This increase is sometimes also called LLI – left lifted increase. Enter Bạn đã gửi

Step 1:

Using your left knitting needle, insert the tip into the second stitch below the first stitch on your right knitting needle.

Step 2:

Lift this stitch onto your left knitting needle.

Step 3:

Insert the right needle tip through the back loop and knit newly lifted stitch.

Step 4:

Knit the next stitch and and continue knitting according to your pattern.

Note: KLL is a fairly invisible increase when it’s all by itself. If you are increasing at the same position every row, even KRL gets pretty visible. So, try to space them out a bit. 

The only downside of the KLL increase is that it tends to create a little gap/eyelet. Normally it’s not visible (certainly not as extreme as a M1L or a yarn over), but you’ll see it when you stretch the fabric.
