STITCHING GUIDE…<br />
Yarn Over<br />
After a knit stitch, before a<br />
knit stitch<br />
Bring the yarn forward<br />
between the<br />
needles,<br />
then<br />
back over<br />
the top of the<br />
right‐hand needle, so<br />
that it is now in position to knit the<br />
next stitch.<br />
Knit In Front & Back<br />
Knit the next stitch but<br />
do not slip the old stitch off<br />
the left needle (right). Insert<br />
the right needle into the back loop of the<br />
same stitch and knit it (below right), then<br />
slip the old stitch off the left needle.<br />
Purl In Front & Back<br />
Purl the next stitch but do not<br />
slip the old stitch off the left<br />
needle. Insert the right needle<br />
into the back loop of the same<br />
stitch and purl it (right),<br />
then slip the old stitch<br />
off the left needle.<br />
Knit 2 Together<br />
Insert the right needle into the front of the<br />
first two stitches on the left needle as if to<br />
knit (right), then knit them<br />
together as if they<br />
were one stitch.<br />
