Need help with pattern directions

*k2tog, yo*

knit two together, yarn over

I don't really know what knit two together means. I can find how to do a yarn over stitch, but it seems counter productive to knitting 2 together--because isn't a yo stitch a way to increase stitches?

Help!

Thanks!

It makes an eyelet, Jesse a cute l'il hole... for k2tog instructions try

DH wants me NOW... :blush good luck!

Ok, I see how to k2tog and I see how to yo. What I can't figure out is how to combine them. Isn't that what I am doing when the pattern says k2tog, yo?

Thanks for your help, Pamela.

you do them sequentially, not combined. K2t0g takes out a stitch and YO adds one and makes a hole. then you are back to your same number of stitches.

make sense? I'm nak. xo

So there's good news and bad news...the good news is that I successfully learned how to yo. The bad news is that it was two rows too late. I frogged the damn thing and have started over. But I'm learning!!!

Learning is good! frogging is a necessary part of that process, unfortunately!

I think our lightbulb icon looks... umm... weird... :lookroun:
