I am not sure exactly what you mean, like you don't know how to do them within the pattern or you don't know how to do them at all? I don't know what your pattern is, but it should be telling you when to do those particular stitches/increases and I would assume the project would stay in pattern after making the stitches/increases.
perfect time to ask: you wrap the yarn for your YOs by your needle going OVER the yarn - what would happen if you did the YOs with your needle going UNDER the yarn - hope I made clear what I am trying to say - I have noticed this in regular knitting not just YOs ... some knitters go under some knitters go over
If I am understanding what you're saying, that is what I know as a reverse or backward yarn over. I am not super familiar with the mechanics of it, but I know that doing it that way twists the stitch. On the following row, if you are making a knit stitch into it, you either reorient the stitch and knit as normal, or knit through the back leg to untwist it. That will create an eyelet; if you leave it twisted and knit it through the front loop, it will close up the hole. If you are purling into the yarn over on the following row, again you need to reorient the stitch and purl as normal or purl through the back loop to create the eyelet. If you leave it twisted and purl through the front loop, that will close the eyelet. I hope I said that all right and that it makes sense. There are a lot of videos and websites with info on reverse yarn over, like this ysolda.com/blogs/journal/how-to-knit-more-symmetrical-yarn-overs. I have watched many videos over the years, and one thing I have learned is that many people hold their yarn or work their stitches differently from the way I learned and feel comfortable knitting and crocheting. I know the yarn police like to say there is a right way and a wrong way, but I disagree. If you like the results you are getting, then it doesn't much matter how you get there. :-)
@@iknitwithcatfur oh my! went to the link and it just solved a mystery for me - long boring story but in a nutshell I knit Eastern European and have had to "mix-up" my stitches on yarn overs ... THANK YOU and now I see I was doing it right all along
Very well explained. Thank you!!
Such a cool stitch! Imagining a scarf and pondering how to do a beanie style hat! great fun! Thanks for the video- very clear
Awesome 👏🏾 thank you ☺️ 🧶
Really interesting! Reminds me of a double crochet ❤
and by the way ... crocheters do it too
my pattern requires me to M1L, slip stitches, purl, and kfb within the Double Garter Rows...how would I do this?
