Knitting abbreviation - KFB

Knitting abbreviation KFB stands for knit front and back of a stitch. It is a single or multiple stitch increase. It creates a purl like bump, doesn't have a lean and is fairly noticeable.

To make this increase, insert the right-hand needle into a stitch and knit through the front loop without sliding the worked stitch off the left-hand needle, twist the right-hand needle and knit through the back loop, perform these two actions until you have increased by a desirable number of stitches, and slide the worked stitch off the left-hand needle.
