Duh, I guess I could look at the pattern myself - you linked it, after all :doh:
The slipping of the stitches is just to make a nice edge on the scarf. A lot of times people will slip the first stitch and knit the last stitch of every row to make a nice edge. This is just another way to do it, I guess. You slip knitwise the first and last stitch of every right side row, and looks like you purl the first and last stitch of every wrong side row.
The bold part is what I’m referring to. I think that when I yo from the purl to knit the next stitch I may be doing it wrong. When I look at the stitches after I’m done the row, that part has yarn wrapped around it so I know that’s where I’m messing up.
Any advice on yo after purling to knit the next stitch?
To make a yarn over between a purl and a knit, just take the yarn to the back of your work by placing it over the right needle. Then just proceed and knit the next stitch. Does that help?
If that’s how it helps you to remember, then yes. All you’re doing is making an extra loop on the right needle that will be worked as a regular stitch on the next row.
