Of course, since the stitches facing me were purls, I purled. The principle of purling into the bar of the stitch below isn’t any different than knitting into the stitch. You just lift the bar as to purl, and purl. Of course, since I only need to increase 1 stitch on each edge, I also didn’t increase on both sides of a single stitch. When increasing on the right edge, I increased before the second stitch from the edge. That is to say, I worked the edge stitch (which happened to be a purl), then I increased 1 stitch in the bar of the stitch below the next stitch, then I worked the next stitch (which was usually a purl in this case.)

I increased by knitting into the front and back of one stitch. You could work yarnovers, which would leave holes; single lifted increases would also be nice and smooth.

The reason I love L1As and L1Bs is they make it possible to organize a variety of decorative increases. The key is to carefully decide when to work the “L1B”, when to work the “L1A” and decide how many stitches to work between the two decreases. For other nice looking uses of lifted increases seen “paired raglan increases”. [...] […] I think this looks just the way a gusset should look!
