I’m trying out this knit stitch called the Flower Eyelet. Being that I’m somewhat of newbie, I need some help with how to do the following
stitches in bold.
Row 1 (RS): K10, *k2tog, yo twice, ssk, k12; rep from *, end last rep k10.
Row 2 and all WS rows: Purl, working [k1, p1] [B]into each yo twice[/B].
WHAAAT? How does one “k1, p1 into each yo twice”? :shock:
Thanks in advance~
P.S. - I know how to do all the other stuff.
It is confusing the way that it’s written. In order to keep the stitch count the same, you would k1 p1 into the double yarn over from the previous row. It’s worded a little better in this version:

Hi Beth - In looking at the instructions you’ve posted, in each yo you would work (k1, p1, k1, p1). What are the further (rows 3 and beyond) instructions?
The rest go like this…
Row 3: K8, *[k2tog, yo twice, ssk] twice, k8; rep from * to end.
Row 5 and 9: rep row 1.
Row 7: Rep row 3.
Row 11: K2, *k2tog, yo twice, ssk k12; rep from *, end last rep k2.
Row 13: *[k2tog, yo twice, ssk] twice, k8; rep from *, end [k2tog, yo twice, ssk] twice.
Rows 15 and 19: Rep row 11.
Row 17: Rep row 13.
Row 20: Rep row 2.
Rep rows 1-20.
Well, it certainly is confusing the way that it is written. The link that salmonmac posted instructs it a lot more clearly. (K1, p1) into each yo and purl the rest of the stiches, the math works out.
How I [K1, P1] into one yo is over my head. I think I will have to watch someone do it. I tried on my own. I knitted 1 into the yo with no problem. But Purling 1 into the same yo that I just knitted does not make sense. I put the knitted yo back onto the other needle to purl, but it didn’t seem right.
I would have to pick a difficult stitch! :roll:
Hey Beth - First knit the yo, leave the stitch on the left needle, then purl the same yo, then you can drop it off the left needle.
Ah, okay. Will try tomorrow. Had to give it a break. I’ll reply if I’m successful. Thanks for all of your help!
Reply if you aren’t successful so we can keep trying to help. There may actually be a video for it.
Thanks, GrumpyGramma! I don’t want to be a nuisance. I looked for a vid and couldn’t find one. Erg. Will post again tomorrow with whether or not I succeeded in conquering the Flower eyelet.
Hi Beth - I found a video demonstrating how to knit one purl one into the same stitch. Each yarn over is considered a stitch. Let us know if this helps.
That is super-fantastic! Doesn’t look difficult at all. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks so much, Claire!
I got to row 4 and decided that if I want to continue to like knitting then I need to move on to something else. That’s what makes it fun. :happydance:
Good idea. You can always come back to it another time. I feel lost if I don’t have several things going. LOL That way I can trade off from one to the other.
:cheering: Congratulations! Working up different stitch patterns can be fun :woohoo: What source(s) are you using for your stitch patterns?
