- knit 2 ( k, yo, k) knit 1
- Am I reading this right after I start , after every 5 knit stitch I would yo. Then 5 knit stitches then yo until end of row.

Thank you
Welcome to the forum!
What is the name of your pattern and designer?
There’s usually a reason that the row is written this way rather than k3,yo,k2 for example. Can you quote the entire row for us. Don’t give us a large portion of the pattern due to designer copyright. A row or two is fine.
It might be that this is a k,yo,k into a single stitch? or maybe k2, (k,yo,k) to the last stitch, k1?
Knowing the pattern name and information will help.
The pattern is Shop Frock by Nell knits. I am making size 3.
I have made to vanilla sweaters but never one that uses a yo to increase. When I finish the increase row I am 12 stitches short.

How many stitches do you have from the previous row? What does the pattern say about how to work the k,yo,k? Is k,yo,k to be done in one stitch? That’s how I’m reading. If so then you increase 2 every rpt. I count 5 sts between asterisks before the increase and if you’re increasing 2 then each rpt would have 7 sts.
This project knitter worked out the stitch counts for the increase rounds so these numbers may help.

Seems the round starts with 56sts (is that what you start with?) and the parentheses are straight (knit one, yo, knit one) making 3sts out of 2sts.
Thank you I have reread the pattern and have figured it out. Sometimes just sleeping on it helps.
