It creates a left-slanting increase and can be used n the middle of a project or at the edge of a row to cast on new stitches. It's simply creating a loop around your thumb and picking it up with your needle. You may create a little gap if you don't keep a nice tension, though. There is also a right-slanted variation where you wrap the yarn around your thumb counter-clockwise and pick the yarn from above/behind. ►Visit my blog for a free knitting school: https://nimble-needles.com/learn-to-knit-for-beginners/ ►Follow me on Facebook to get regular updates and stay in touch: https://www.facebook.com/nimbleneedlez/ ► View my projects on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nimbleneedlez/
