Help! Just started Reynolds #402 Colorful Kids

I’ve done the ribbing and the st. st part of the sweater. I’m having a hard time trying to figure out what a 3-st Right Twist (RT):

Skip 2 sts, k next st in ftont of skipped sts but do not drop from LH needle, k2 skipped sts, sl 3 sts off LH needle.

Does this mean to go into the front of the 3rd st on the left hand needle? and then go into the back of the 2 skipped sts then slip all 3 off needle?

I looked to see if I could find a video but didn’t have any luck. Anyone that can explain this better to me would be appreciated.

You’re half correct. You would knit into the front of the 3rd stitch, which is really the same way you knit a stitch anyway, then knit the other 2 stitches the same way you normally knit. Unless the instructions say to, you don’t knit into the back of the stitch.

Thanks a lot. It was so simple and I’m trying to do the pattern with a sample piece of yarn rather than start on the yoke of the sweater. It has a 16 stitch pattern worked over 58 sts.

First you have to increase 9 sts in a preparation row and then do a combination of ladder st, 3 st RT and 6 st cable across these 58 sts.

Wish me luck!! :shrug: :shrug:

That’s a good idea to practice a stitch pattern before you actually start it on the piece you work on. Saves a lot of frustration and ripping back of the nicer yarn.
