Make one left and make one right are two easy ways to increase knitting stitches for beginners. They form a pair so you can increase a project evenly on both sides.
M1L is a left-leaning increase and M1R a right-leaning increase. Both are created by picking up the yarn between two stitches. For M1L you pick it up so it leans to the left (so from the front) and for M1R you pick it up so it leans to the right (so from the back). Then you knit this extra loop twisted which prevents an eyelet from being formed.
You can knit the increase on the return row like a regular stitch.
