Help with a tree

How-to Questions

I want to do some of these tree ornaments for xmas. I have a couple ?s though.

Row 2 : K 1, K 2 tog, K across row.
Row 3: K 1, P 2 tog, P across to last st, P 1.

Should you K1 at the end of row 3 or is P1 right? Because it seems like if you were supposed to purl all of them it seems like it would just say “P across to last st”.

Row 8: Cast on 2 sts at beg of row, then K 1, K 2 tog, K across row.

Ok, so I only know long-tail cast on and I don’t think that would work in this case. Which cast on would work best here? Thanks for any help! :smiley:

In order for the two edges to look the same, I think you should knit that last stitch, since the other edge is in garter, too.

To cast on more stitches, you can do the backward loop or really any one of the single strand cast ons. Cast on at the end of the previous row and count that as the beginning of the row they call for the cast on.
