The Make One Toward Increase (M1T)
Stitch Description
The Make One Towards Increase can be used whenever you pattern calls for a make one (M1) increase. Increases add stitches to your work and are used to shape your fabric. The Make One Towards increase is a neat and clean increase that is easy to create, but it does result in a small hole. This may be desirable as a decorative element.

On my pattern it does not say M1T or M1L. All it says is: K1,M1,K6,M1,K1. So what do I do?
thanks
@mamagriz any of the M1 increases will work. M1 just means to increase.
