| 12 | Tips: Check your work carefully as you work the row after a yarn-over row. If you are short a stitch or two, check for missing yarn-overs. In lace patterns, try reading the pattern row in reverse to check as you work the next (wrong-side) row. | |
| 9 | Picking Up A Missing Yarn-Over: Work to where a yarn-over should be. Insert left needle from front to back under strand between last stitch purled (or knit) and next stitch on left needle. Purl (or knit) into yarn-over. | |
| 10 | A yarn-over’s location (between knits, between purls, between a knit and a purl or between a purl and a knit) determines how the yarn-over is made. | |
| 11 | If a stitch before or after a yarn-over is neither a knit or a purl, but a decrease (k2tog, SSK, etc), treat it as a knit; if it is a purl decrease (p2tog, SSP, etc), treat is as a purl. On the next row, work into the yarn-over as if it is a regular stitch. | |
