This quick lesson will show you how to knit 'make one' (M1) increases. I'll cover both versions - the make one right (M1R) and the make one left (M1L) - which you'll usually find paired together on a right-side row to create a neat, symmetrical effect.
In this particular example, I'm using this single increase either side of a central stitch.

I hope you find this useful!
