    Thank you so much!! This tutorial is excellent & made this knitting-newbie feel very comfortable learning a new term. I’m knitting a hooded blanket for our first baby (due in June) & once I understood how to do the YO, the blanket became VERY easy, knitting quickly & smoothly! The YO edges are gorgeous! Thanks again so much for the help!!

  14. theknitwitch Says:

    Yes, a YO will …
    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.

  15. simplespirit101 Says:

    The one question I …
    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?

    Thank you. That was …
    Thank you. That was such a big help. And it saved me a trip to get help from the ladies at the yarn store. I think they are sick of seeing me. lol!

    what happens when the pattern says, YO twice? does that mean you wrap around the yarn twice?

    I want to learn how to knit but there’s no knitting course in the Philippines. I can see you give clear instructions and you do it well as you have a ready sample to show the result of the work. I will always come back here. What I need to do first is to look for available knitting needles I can use as honestly, I don’t find any here in my place. You’re such a great neat intructress.
