I am trying to knit my first pair of socks!!! I am already stuck in the first bit though where my pattern says the following...

"k5, sl successively 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th sts just worked over 1st and off needle.."

I know how to make slip stitches, but the bit that throws me out is the successively 2nd, and so on bit....Can anyone help me?! Many thanx in advance. Zoe

I've had a knitting book from a friend since 1987, was baffled by "yfwd" and never tried the patterns. Glancing through it again today, I thought "someone will be able to explain it on the internet." OK, so I'm old! I'm so thrilled when the internet helps ME with the things I need to know. Thanks Jan!

Thanks! I am about to start a sweater for my mother and the lace pattern on the edge was confusing me a bit. This helped lots!

Thanks for the explanation! I can now proceed with my pattern. :)

I'm wondering if this is a method for doing a YO between a knit and purl stitch.

[laurenfrehel]

Please, could I have an answer?

[laurenfrehel]

I mean I've had both of them in the same pattern, a Rowan pattern, so I don't understand why they use two different words for the same thing...

[laurenfrehel]

Thank you, but what is the difference between yarn over and yarn forward then?

To me it looks the same in both of your videos, so I am not sure...

[RawrFunkyLlama8]

@laurenfrehel she says at the beginning of the video that they are the same thing. 'Yarn foward' is the English term, I suppose 'yarn over' is the American version.

(I know you posted your comment ages ago, but no one had answered yet so...)
