m1r means make one right.

Make One Right · Increases

Make One Right explained

A right-leaning increase. Pick up the bar between stitches from back to front with the left needle, then knit it through the front loop. Mirrors m1l, so patterns often use both to shape symmetrically.

How you might see it written

Patterns aren't always consistent. m1r may also appear as M1R, or m1 right. The converter recognizes all of these.
