Help... I have been knitting for I guess over 50 years but am stumped by this . yp2: Yarn over,p2,pass made stitch over 2 purled stitches. Its no doubt simple but I just dont get it. Can somebody explain please..

It's worded oddly, but I think the 'made' stitch is the YO. So YO, p2, pass the YO over the 2 purl sts.

Thanks for that I'll give that a try it may just be it...

What Suzeeq says sounds right to me.
