Knit Front and Back (kfb) is a very common single increase that turns one stitch into two. On the knit side of stockinette, a kfb looks a bit like a purl stitch, and in fact, it is sometimes called a “bar increase” because of the horizontal “bar” on the increased stitch. ...
You now have one stitch on the right-hand needle and the old stitch still on the left-hand needle. To finish the increase, knit into the back of the old stitch on the left-hand needle. This stitch is made in exactly the same way you'd make a stitch on the front part of the loop...

After the front and back are knit, the pieces are seamed, then the little sleeve ribbing is knit in the round, as well as the neckline. I did change how the neckline was knit, as I didn’t like the way it was written in the pattern (a basic ribbing with a bind off at the end...
Bias Garter Stitch- This very simple pattern pairs a series of K2Tog with KFB (knit front and back) in opposite rows. It's a simple way to create a knitted shape that slants in one direction (called a bias). Flemish Block Lace- Lace patterns often include K2Tog because it helps with...
I worked the back first, and noticed, and corrected for, the yarnover for the buttonhole seemed one stitch too close to the edge. Instead of binding off at the shoulders I held the stitches on stitch holders to be grafted with the front stitches later. The front was a bit trickier since...
It says that in addition to being stretchy, it looks the same front and back. Also I wanted to say to people wanting to print out or save the pattern, download it and change it to pdf. In addition to having in my laptop now, I can also choose to view it in a larger size – ...
Adaptation #2: just when you've gotten used to flat knitting, and knitting through the front loop of some stitches and the back loop of others, you will may be surprised by the fact that when doing circular knitting, things change. I recall one Combination knitter telling me that she wrap...
It is similar to the basic k2tog stitch except that you work it through the back loops of the stitches instead of the front loops. This makes the decrease lean to the left instead of the right. That is a definite upside to k2togtbl, it’s really easy. The downside to k2togtbl ...
