Tara D had some very interesting things to say about Beginner knitter ?: No it's not. Your Yarn Over is created using the thread between the stitches. Same deal if simply pick up that thread as a stitch. Same thread, same placement, same result. One is a conscious choice while stitching the row, the other is normally an unconscious mistake. YO (yarn over) is refered to as "yarn forward" in some (mostly European) texts. There's another "open" increase that involves that bar between stitches. If you just pick it up (without twisting as I described in another post), you get an eyelet. Ann |

This is the first time I've heard of "Make 1", and I'm intrigued! Can
you explain in written word, or is this something you must "see". I think I understand (picking up that loop between 2 stitches as you spread apart the needles), but further info would be welcomed by me. I'll try my best to explain. You have the basic idea. After finishing a knit stitch you dip the left needle under the thread that tops the space between the stitches on the needles, then you knit that thread off the left needle to create a new stitch. I just made a daughter a hat which used Make 1, so it is fresh in my mind.

Ok. Let me see if I got this straight: Make 1 = Yarn Over. No, they are two separate things. Yes, both will increase the number of stitches, but YO gives a hole, and is most often used in lace, Make 1 (M1) gives a new stitch, without a hole.

"Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" wrote in message ... Another method , calls for knit 1 into stich as usual, NOT pulling it off the left needle, taking your thread to the front and making a purl stich into same stich , now pull `old` stich off the needle , the little - line of the purl would almost be invisible. but you also won`t see the hole you will see in the former method I was taught to call this "knitting into the front and the back of the stitch" and it's how I used to do most of my increasing unless I specifically wanted the lace effect. Also, if you pick up the thread between the stitches and knit into the back of it, it twists a bit, so the holes are less noticeable. I'm the one who doesn't like lace or crochet so this works for me! emerald |

Thank you Emerald for this new to me terminology , i was taught to
knit in several languages , but here i did my best to explain the various methods .and hope it was clear enough. When making the Bar increase i don`t like to `twist` it as it stresses the thread. mirjam I was taught to call this "knitting into the front and the back of the stitch" and it's how I used to do most of my increasing unless I specifically wanted the lace effect. Also, if you pick up the thread between the stitches and knit into the back of it, it twists a bit, so the holes are less noticeable. I'm the one who doesn't like lace or crochet so this works for me! emerald |
