How to Knit a Knit Front Back (KFB)

In this video tutorial, Heidi Gustad teaches you how to master the knit front back increase, also known as KFB. The KFB increase is one of the most common increases you come across in knitting. A KFB increase is sometimes referred to as a bar increase, because a horizontal bar is created each time you work the stitch. The bar does affect the visual look of your knitting, but it makes it easy to count the number of increases you've completed. Check out this step-by-step video to learn how to complete the KFB increase with ease.

I also knit Continental and I just wanted to comment that when you purl, the proper purl stitch is made when you wrap in a counter-clockwise fashion . . . here you are wrapping clockwise. This is important, especially when you knit Brioche and some other more involved knitting techniques.
