The single wing is the simplest form of bias knitting. On a given number of stitches along a cast-on (flat) edge, one stitch is lost at the beginning and returned at the end of every other row. The same number of stitches is knitted, therefore, on every return row. But the rising edges of the work move upwards on a slant of two parallel lines-one being the increased and one the decreased edge of what is called bias knitting.
