when you're knitting the wrap stitch, I understand that you knit the wrap and the knit stitch together - but do you knit thru the back loop? I throw when I knit and it's hard to tell what's being done.

@sandradle YES, you knit through the bar and the loop on the needle. It's like knitting two together. THank you for the question.

If you skip a row twice, do you wrap that stitch twice? If you do, when you come back to pick up those missed stitches, do you grab both wraps? Thanks!

[snowpak2001]

@paperkite03 No...wrapping is done at the end of a short row.

You do not wrap it twice. You'll see the bar to pick it up when you knit back.

Helpful, but perhaps it would have been a bit easier to see if you had used plain yarn instead of the multi-colored ribbon yarn.

Thank you for the great instructions. I didn't know what a "wrap" stitch was. Now I do! I started a curly scarf, this stitch will be very helpful.

knitting show rows without the hole AvI. It was hard to follow because of tje multicoloured yarn whereas the German knitting was a bit better but I could not follow because the knitting was a bit too fast and I could not keep up. Thank you anyway. fati6jato
