I knit mostly children's sweaters and prefer kfb for sleeves for two reasons--I like the look of the bumps and also it's easier to count rows! ;) After reading this, though, I think I'll try to open M1 for the next project. I like that look as well.

I subbed the M1 stitch for the kfb because to me it’s easier, but my stitch counts were always off. Now I have a much better understanding and will learn the M1 now.

I'm still not totally sure why (bit thick) but see the difference now. Back to the needles!

You have to take into account that the Kf/b is using up one of the stitches of the round. So take out one stitch between increases: ie. K2, M1 becomes K1, Kf/b.Deb @ cabinfeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05468054119369675997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248442620674517618.post-16772917086962369112016-08-31T17:19:25.595-04:002016-08-31T17:19:25.595-04:00I am knitting Christmas balls and the new pattern ...I am knitting Christmas balls and the new pattern I found calls for m1 but I am more familiar with kfb. Do you think it would mess the pattern up if I used kfb. I'm not a new knitter but I'm just now teaching myself to really use increase an decreases.

I love your top-down technique with children's clothes not only because of the no-sew result but because I enjoy seeing the garment grow from start to finish as I'm working.<br /><br />I also appreciate the helpful responses I've gotten to personal e-mail when I wanted to enlarge a pattern. You ladies are worth your combined weights in expensive yarns! :) Thank you from an ardent follower.KnitFixationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194526763053951145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248442620674517618.post-47110909768598381482011-04-13T13:33:34.633-04:002011-04-13T13:33:34.633-04:00thanks so much, you are brilliant...!!!thanks so much, you are brilliant...!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248442620674517618.post-24413171695785211522011-04-09T20:08:18.036-04:002011-04-09T20:08:18.036-04:00Thank you for this lovely explanation - I have bee...Thank you for this lovely explanation - I have been wondering if there was a visible difference for days!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248442620674517618.post-31893496086243520742011-03-22T03:28:07.890-04:002011-03-22T03:28:07.890-04:00omg..thx a lot for this tutorial..cos i've bee...omg..thx a lot for this tutorial..cos i've been scratching my head on searching the difference between kfb & m1.. and found you blog about it.. you're my saviourIke Keidi Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04313255624165492630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248442620674517618.post-72594317727619484802010-04-10T09:29:26.864-04:002010-04-10T09:29:26.864-04:00That was *very* helpful!

I have used both increases, and often use KFB instead of M1, but I've always just automatically adjusted for that difference. :) I think I've become an intuitive knitter! I can see that it would make sense to follow instructions, though, in some cases, especially with the purl bump showing on the KFB. You've given me a lot to think about! Many thanks!!! Off to see if there's any snow left out back so I can get my snowballs ready. It has melted a lot the last few days, luckily without causing a mucky mess. It's wet wonderful packing snow now, though, what's left. My snowballs will be like bullets!!! sammAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
