Need help with pattern

I think it's the same thing that in one type of sock heel. You leave the yarn wrap on the needle and when you work a full row in the end, you know why the warps are there. That's the best way not to have any extra holes.

Or that's what I figured out. I'm not too good on reading instructions if I don't do it at the same time :) Especially in English.

Hugs, Johanna

The yfwd on R 25 is for wrapping the yarn around the sl stitch when you turn it around to work on Row 26.

Okaaayyyyyyyy...... I'll see what I can do with it. It's too bad the instructions aren't more clear. Thanks

Hi Johanna I did google this type of stitch and it came up with a lot of info on using it in socks - there was even one with pictures, but y'know what? I still had a real mental block with it.

You did fine with your English explanation and I'll work on it to see if I can figure it out. ;>) Thanks Shelagh

Making short rows by wrapping and turning is explained here - complete with pictures...

When doing short rows for shaping, wrapping around a slipped stitch is usually used to prevent a hole where you turn and go back. When I was reading knitting books earlier this year, I did see it explained in some books but I don't remember which ones any more. As Johanna said, it is frequently used when turning a sock heel and I think some sock books do explain the purpose and show diagrams.

Thank you VERY MUCH!! The pictures do help... I will probably have to bring my knitting to the computer monitor and work on that way - but if I can get it done, well that's just fine. This has been very helpful!!

Heh. Everytime I want to do this, I have to click up the page to get it right, because I tend to wrap after I slip the stitch and that really makes it weird.
