Knitting abbreviation - M1A

Knitting abbreviation M1A stands for make one away. It is a right-leaning single stitch increase. It is the easiest way to make a tidy increase and is perfect for colour work.

To make this increase, take the working yarn and make a loop by twisting it 180 degrees clockwise, place it onto the right-hand needle, and work the rest of your row/round. When you get to this stitch on the next row/round, work it as normal through the front loop.
