Increases & Decreases

Knit Front Back (KFB)

How to Knit Front Back (KFB)
Knit Front Back (KFB) is a basic increasing stitch, it creates 2 stitches out of 1, the way you do a KFB is by knitting in the same loop twice, first in the front loop, then in the back loop. Knit Front Back (KFB) is a neutral increasing stitch, it’s vertical and doesn’t lean in any direction. The only thing I don’t like about KFB is that it also creates a visible little bar on the right side of the fabric, not so perfect.
