Hemlock Lace Pattern help

How-to Questions

Hello knitters! I am trying to make this doille, but having a lot of problems, not only starting over 4 times, but I do not end up the correct # of stitches. :???: :???:

what does "O"mean
is “thread over twice” = yo,yo
I went to knittinghelp.com but it did NOT help in this case.

from row 13 to 14 I did not end up with 88 stitches
I am using 2 circulars instead of dp needles
what is (O,k1) = yo, k1?
the 14th row always messes me up!

The O is for YO, thread over twice is to make 2 YOs. And yes, O, k1 is yo, k1.

On round 14 you’ll be making 9 sts in each YO except the first one and will end up with 88 sts. Just go slowly and you should be able to get it.

Hi Sarah
We have a Hemlock KAL going on, Why don’t you join us, read the old post for any info that might be helpful to you, ask as many questions as you need. I am on row 67 now. I will be making another one of these and the one thing I will do on the next one is use stitch markers between each repeat. Will save a lot of hassle trying to undo rows of stitches trying to figure where you went wrong.
