To see how this increase looks on a knitted project, take a look at the increases sampler here: knittinghelp.com/videos/increases

This is the easiest knitting increase. It makes a fine, all purpose increase, as long as you don't mind a loose increase that can show a small hole. When a kniting pattern says to increase or to "make one (M1)" you can use this, or any of the other M1 increases.
