I tried the stitch pattern for the so called scarf last night and no surprise, but it just did not look right. I am not exacty sure what I am doing wrong, but it might be in the step of knitting into the back of the stitch. I have watched the video on increases that use knitting into t he back of the stitch and that makes sense to me. But, when I psso and then knit into the back I am confused. Can someone explain in detail?
Glossary:
•psso-pass slipped stitch over
•P2tog-purl 2 together
Instructions:
•CO 30 stitches
•Row 1: K1, sl 1, K1, psso but before dropping the slipped stitch from the left needle, knit into the back of it repeat until there is one stitch left, K1
•Row 2: P2tog, do not slip stitches off the needle, purl the first stitch again, slip both stitches off needle
there’s a thread in the whatcha knitting forum from march (with pictures).
I slipped the stitch purlwise with yarn in back, but a friend slipped hers knitwise. pattern is basically the same, but the slipped stitch is more vertical on hers I think.
This is what I did for knitting in the back and it seems to have worked - when you’re holding the passed stitch on the left needle, insert the right needle in through the top towards the back, not from the front underneath as in a regular knit stitch.
Hopefully someone will correct me if this is not correct, but my scarf seems to look like the pattern.
