Trying to do this increase for the Wonderwool sweater but because it's knit at such a loose gauge on 25mm needles, it's causing the gap to be very noticeable. Do you have any remedy or suggestion? I've tried doing both an M1R and M1L to the same effect, I think it's because the gauge is so loose that when I lift up the bar between stitches it's pulling too much away from the stitches beside it.

Hi, I'm knitting the Crazy feeling sweater. On the back piece where the increasing row is, do I need to "make 1 right" at the beginning of the row and than "make 1 left" at the end of it? this video shows make one left only so I assumed I needed to make "make 1 left" at both beginning and end of the row.
