Knitting Abbreviations:
M1 (Make 1):
A method of increasing one stitch. To make a left-leaning increase (M1L), use the left needle to pick up the strand between the stitches from front to back, then knit through the back loop. To make a right-leaning increase (M1R), pick up the strand from back to front and knit through the front loop.
SSK (Slip, Slip, Knit):
A left-leaning decrease that reduces two stitches into one. Slip the next two stitches knitwise, one at a time, onto the right needle. Insert the left needle into the front of both slipped stitches and knit them together. This creates a neat decrease that mirrors a K2tog.

Tips for Knitting with Double Point Needles
Knitting with double point needles (DPNs) is a useful skill for creating small projects in the round, like this Plush Candy Corn Knitting Pattern. While using multiple needles may feel tricky at first, a little practice will help you create seamless projects with ease.
Tips for knitting on double point needles:
Arrange your stitches evenly: Divide your stitches across your needles before joining in the round to prevent stretching or gaps.
Keep your first few rounds snug: The beginning of a project can feel loose on DPNs, so keep your tension slightly firm until the fabric starts to build.
Avoid laddering: Pull the first stitch of each needle slightly tighter to prevent loose vertical gaps between needles.
Use a stitch marker if helpful: Place a marker on the first stitch or between needles to help you keep track of your rounds.
Don’t worry about the needles moving: The needles will naturally shift as you knit. Focus on the stitches you are working rather than keeping the needles perfectly positioned.
Practice with small projects: Plush toys, hats, and ornaments are great ways to build confidence with DPNs.
Once you get comfortable with double point needles, you’ll be able to knit a wide variety of seamless projects in the round. They’re especially helpful for small seasonal knits like plush toys, socks, hats, and other cozy handmade designs
