Stumped on 2nd Row! LOL

How-to Questions

Hi, I decided to make some friends some double knitted hats and bought all the yarn. Started the pattern and am stumped on the second row already! It’s on circular needles.

It says:

[COLOR=“DarkGreen”]Row 1: With color A K1, bring yarn forward, slip next stitch purlwise, bring yarn back, repeat from * to * across the row. DO NOT TURN WORK!

Row 2: With color B slip next stitch purlwise, bring yarn forward, P1, bring yarn back, repeat from * to * across the row.

Now you can join and begin knitting in the round.[/COLOR]

So… if I don’t turn my work, am I not beginning to knit in the round?

Yet it says on row 3 I can now join and begin knitting in the round.

So… what do I do? I am at the end of my needle, first row done, and I haven’t a clue how to continue… ? The pattern is from a blog that hasn’t been updated in years, so I can’t ask her.

Not sure if I am just dense or what? I even looked up knitting backwards to see if that is what it wants, but I don’t see purling backwards…

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :slight_smile:

Go back to the beginning of the row and use the other color, you’ll then have both colors at the end of the row. It doesn’t say to do that but that’s all I can see that will work.

Thank you so much, GG!

I actually just tried that, and it worked! :cheering:
