I’m starting a knitting pattern with a chevron lace and mock cable design. The third row of the pattern repeat reads: yfwd, s1, k1, psso, p2, wrap3, p2, k2tog, yfwd, k3
When searching the pattern definitions, “wrap3” reads: slip 3rd stitch on LH needle over 2nd and 1st stitches, k1, yfwd, k1.
How do you do this? How do you slip the 3rd stitch over the 1st and 2nd?
Thanks!
It’s similar to the bind off when you slip the first stitch on the righthand needle over the second and off the needle. in your pattern, pick up the 3rd stitch on the lefthand needle and lift it over and off the needle, It’ll form a collar around the first two sts. Then k1, yfwd, k1. The yfwd (yarn over) will add a stitch to compensate for the one you dropped off the needle.
That’s great. I’ll try it. I think it will be hard to try and stretch that third stitch over two others but see how it goes.
