Hi, i am a novice knitter and have dabbled with little projects like scarfs for my daughter's dolls, but i would like to move on to something more adventurous.
i decided to follow a basic doll pattern, which starts -
cast on 21 sts
1st row - K
2nd row - K1, inc in next st, P to last stitch, inc in next st, K1 (23 sts)

basically i am stuck on the increasing. i have watched youtube videos making it look very simple, and i get the basic idea, but when i get to the last stitch my yarn feels too tight to increase into the last stitch, am i doing something wrong?

any help appreciated
Claire
