To see how this increase looks on a knitted project, take a look at the increases sampler here: knittinghelp.com/videos/increases
This increase, paired with KLL, is ideal if you ever need to do two symmetrical increases in adjacent stitches.
I don't, however, like this increase in most applications: When used on alternate rows over several rows, as is often called for with increases, the knitting pulls in a bit along the increase line.
In my sample I knit KLL followed by KRL. (KLL is on the right side, KRL on the left side, in the image shown.)
