Knitting: How to Increase or Add Stitches

Step 1: With the working yarn in back, as shown in the image above, insert the tip of the right needle into the stitch to be increased from bottom to top.
Step 2: Wrap the working yarn between the needles from back to front, scoop down to draw the working yarn through the loop, but DO NOT remove from the left hand needle.

Step 3: Pivot the left hand needle slightly toward you in order to see the back of the stitch waiting on the left hand needle. Insert the tip of the right hand needle into the back of this stitch from top to bottom.
Step 4: Rotate the right hand needle back to its original position (the needles return to the original x shape) as seen in the image above, wrap the working yarn, draw through a loop and slide the stitch off of the left hand needle.

One stitch increased.
