Help with pattern for bonnet

How-to Questions
1

hi i am knitting a bonnet for a baby and the pattern reads

k1 then yfwd 3 out of 3. Can anyone say what that means, does it mean do yfwd then work 3 stitches and then yfwd again?

Any help greatly appreciated.

THanks

What is the name of your pattern?
Can you quote the entire row that contains this part?

3

it is Snuggly double knitting 380. the entire row says

K1, yfwd 3 out of 3, rep from ? to last st, k1

4

Hmm, I can come up with a book 380


It might help if you could scan a photo of the bonnet and post that. Does the pattern define yfwd 3 out of 3?

Thank you. It does help to see the photo.
Three out of 3 is probably a way of knitting 3 together, then k1, yo, k1. In the end you’ve taken 3sts and knit them as one then created 3sts.

The pattern should define 3 out of 3 in a list of abbreviations at the beginning or end of patterns.

i am sorry i looked at the beginning of the pattern with the abbreviations and saw this

So I am assuming i knit 3 sts, then take 1st stitch over the other two, which makes sense.

i should check first, Pat

OK, great, you’ve solved it. If you work 3 and then take one stitch over the other 2 then your sts will decrease but the yfwd will add a stitch to keep the count even.
