Loom knitting pattern help.

How-to Questions

Making a pattern for my goose stuffy. Asked Chat GPT to help create a pattern. Wanted to use existing pattern, but add a ruffled bottom. Found a pic online and asked Chat GPT to use pic as reference. Patterns are usually good and work, but this pattern is confusing. The yarn over part is very confusing. Pattern says YO + Knit on a peg means:
Wrap that peg twice, then knit the bottom loop over the top loop (leave 1 loop). Not sure what to do with the yarn over section.

I’ve never tried Chat GPT for patterns but you can let us know how it works out.
The YO is a quick way to increase the stitch number. For the loom it can be worked by wrapping the peg twice to increase. For round 2, knit the sts but on every 3rd peg, lift the bottom loop over the top loop and off the peg, then knit the remaining loop. Continue like this along the pegs.
Round 7 is similar.
Do you have a photo of a similar stuffy that you might post?

Sorry, no advice for your question but I’m really interested to hear about (or see a pic of) the patterns you’ve found successful written by chatGPT. In my experience AI hasn’t a clue how to knit and the general feeling I’ve read/seen about AI patterns has only been negative.
If you’re having a positive experience it would be very interesting to hear about.
