Learn to Knit: M2p Increase | Knitting Tutorial

When you want to add two purl stitches to your work you can use the M2p increase.

  1. Pick up strand between your stitches from the back.
  2. Purl into the front of this strand, leaving the original loop on the needle.
  3. Purl into the back (ptbl) of the loop, removing the loop from the left needle.
