Hi I am a new member and so thankful for this group already! I’m stuck with a project I’m doing…is anyone able to help explain what the following means:
(K1,YO) twice
Thanks in advance!!
What’s your pattern and designer? There should be an explanation of the abbreviations, either on the first page or sometimes on the last page.
Parentheses usually mean that everything inside them is a sequence that will be repeated, and then there will be something that tells you how many times, or maybe “repeat to end of row”.
So in your case, (Knit one stitch, Yarn Over), then do everything in parentheses on more time.
Thank you! Designer is Knitatude. I did check the abbreviations and of course this one is not included. Do you think I am supposed to K1,YO into the same stitch twice? That’s where I am uncertain.
Hello
Usually this does not mean in the same stitch. More often the words “into a single stitch,” or similar, would be used if that was intended.
(K1,YO) twice
Do everything inside the parentheses the number of times given outside the parentheses.
K1, yo, k1, yo
This will use up 2 stitches in total and will result in 4 sts on the needle.
Hope this helps
Good Morning,
This was so helpful to me. Thanks a million.

A yarn over isn’t done into a stitch, it’s an increase done between stitches. Depending on how the next row is worked, it may leave a decorative hole. Knowing the name of the pattern would help us see which is intended.
