Tutorial 3 Knit stitch and Inc 1 stitch Knit a Teddy, Dog Row 1

The knit stitch (K) is the most basic of stitches. If you knit every stitch of every row, the result is garter stitch. The increase one stitch (inc 1) is where you knit into the front and the back of a stitch, thereby making 2 stitches from 1 stitch. It's a neat, firm increase, which makes a little bar on the right side of work at the base of the new stitch.
