<p><strong>Increase via the backward loop</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/backloop1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-256" title="backloop1" src="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/backloop1-300x227.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>Make a loop of yarn as shown on your left thumb.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/backloop2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-257" title="backloop2" src="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/backloop2.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Insert the right needle into the loop and remove the loop from your thumb.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/backloop3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-258" title="backloop3" src="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/backloop3.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="298" /></a></p>
<p>Gently snug the stitch and knit the next stitch as directed.</p>
<p><strong>Simple Double Central Increase<br />
</strong>The following all happens in the same stitch.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dblinc1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-259" title="dblinc1" src="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dblinc1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="325" /></a></p>
<p>Knit the stitch through the back loop (ktbl), do not remove stitch from left needle.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dblinc2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-260" title="dblinc2" src="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dblinc2.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="298" /></a></p>
<p>Work increase via backward loop (as in tutorial above).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dblinc3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-261" title="dblinc3" src="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dblinc3.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="298" /></a></p>
<p>Knit stitch through the back loop again and remove from left needle.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dblinc4.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-262" title="dblinc4" src="http://www.buttknits.com/shop/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dblinc4.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="298" /></a></p>
<p>Your increase should look like this.</p>
<p>I have used this increase in a few different situations that called for the standard central double increase. I find this method to be less fiddly (ie: not as tight) and still provide good results. You are welcome to use which ever method you like best.</p>
