    so if the pattern says: k4, yo, k2tog, it actually means knit 4, then knit 1 (so knit 5 really) and then yarn over? cause you said you need one first and then pull the yarn over and knit again. I'm confused, sorry!

    - you have probably already figured this out by now - sorry for my delay! But no - you would knit 4, perform your yarn over and then K2tog. That will give you a total of 6 stitches when you are done performing those steps.

    The one question I have is: when you do the YO, won't that increase your stiches? Like, the next row will have more stitches than the last? So if you are knitting, say, a dishcloth (that is square) why would you need to increase? How do you keep, say, forty stitches on your needles while featuring a YO?

    Yes, a YO will always increase your stitches. If you are doing a YO for decorative purposes only then you have to pair it with a decrease to keep your stitch count even. So, your pattern might be *k2, YO, k2tog* or something like that.

    Thanks so much for this! I do have a question, though: when it comes to knitting a new row, I'm assuming you would knit the un-worked stitch as a regular stitch... is this correct?

    Thanks!

    Yep - that is correct! Unless your pattern tells you otherwise.

  • kkrashmi1

    Hi, Thank you for this video. It explains the concept very clearly. I have a doubt - How do you get those gaps that you showed in your work. Do we have to slip off some of those yarn overs in the next row to get the gap. I knitted all the stiches including the yo and found only increase in stitches, but not gaps. Could you please explain

    u did it between a knit stitch and a pearl stitch but not between a knit and a purl!

    coz if im switching between a purl and a knit i dont bring my yarn to the front i do it at the back right...so does that mean i twist it the opposite way (behind) twice?
