I dont understand my pattern!(beginner)
Yarn forward means to bring the yarn to the front of the work (as if you were about to do a purl stitch).
Yarn forward means to bring the yarn to the front as if you are going to purl. If you knit the next stitch, it will create a yarn-over eyelet, which is also an increase.
If you check out the Glossary tab above, Amy has many videos and explanations of the various abbreviations in patterns.
oh wow thank you! i didnt think it would be so simple(she said before doing trying it) i’ll have my baby mittens finished …now i just need to find a baby to give them to…-is realy happy regardless-
