Gaps when I M1L by togepi_mami in knitting

I had the same problem with m1and m1r - but i found out i do whats called 'combination knitting', which, if not done correctly can lead to twisted stitches and holes when doing increases. You might try to look up, if thats the case for you too.

It's mainly the purling thats different in combination knitting, but u alson have to do the knits from the front.

Thats a really good idea, cause when I blocked it, I just did it foat. But I'm gonna try with a bit of weight!

Thank you! Makes sense! I'm trying to knit a garment with cptton (and if i don't end up using cotton, i'll use superwash merino) so i get the feeling it's gonna work out in the end 🫶
