[edit] Instructions

How do I knit this stitch?

  1. Step 1 On the right side of the work knit in pattern.
  2. Step 2 To add a hole as in lace, simply wrap the yarn once over the right needle and continue to knit.
  3. Step 3 Most times there is a YO, you'll also find a SSK or S1 K1 PSSO stitch as a decrease to compensate for the added YO stitch.
