In a lace pattern, the directions read: yfwd.K2. What should this look like? Where do I pick up th yarn for the K2 after I pull the yarn forward? I am knitting the lace dishcloth from the 2008 pattern-a-day calendar, on October 8.:knitting:
Does it say yf, k2 or yf, k2tog.
When you put the yarn to the front for a yarn-forward increase, you put it to the front as if to purl. Then, when you knit the next stitch as normal, you create an extra stitch (a yarn over increase) that leaves a small decorative hole.
However, if you only do the increase without a decrease to match, then you’ll end up with the piece getting wider and wider. That may be what you want, but double check.
Yes, there are matching decreases in the pattern.
