Dear all,
I just love your homepage! I tried to read all, because I made gloves and wanted to use a beautiful pattern I saw, but I just can’t produce it.
I am a Newbie, so please excuse me if my question has been explained already somwhere I did not find.
Basically the hole-pattern looks like you are a beginner and made little holes into your knitting. However, the holes come regular and thus look pretty cool.
When I read the instructions for the pattern, it said “yarn over”. The problem is, this decreases the piece after some rows so extremely that you end up with nothing. What am I doing wrong? Should you increase after each line of decrease?
Help, please :shrug:
Thank you all.

A ‘hole’ pattern is usually called lace, though it’s not always a lacey pattern, or an eyelet pattern. Ingrid’s right, in a pattern like this, there’s usually the same number of decreases as yarn overs so the number of stitches on each row stays the same.
Yes, you are right, there is this yarn over and then follows a decrese. The trouble is - I guess - then with me, because the yarn over “jumps” over the decrese and both get lost. This also explains the rapid loss of loops…
The decrease is soo difficult. One is supposed to take one knit over unknitted, and knit the next one, and then drag the not-knitted one over the knitted one. The yarn over ist just before this procedure, and I thought it was supposed to also hop over the two others…
What can you make of this?
Thank you so much.

Thank You! This is exactly my problem. and the video helps a lot (although I use the continental knitting method). Great.
I try to post the picture of the pattern I tried to do here: it is a sock.
Now I chose a cable instead, as the lace pattern did not work. If I manage, I will upload the picture es well.
Thanks again. m.
