Which stitches are purls on the next row?
Hello!

I'm trying a lace pattern for the first time and don't know which stitches qualify as 'purl' stitches for the WS rows. Here's what I mean:

Row1 (RS): k1, *k2, SKP, k4, k2tog, k2, yo, k1, yo, rep *, end k1.

Row 2 (WS): k the knit sts and p the purl sts

When I'm doing row 2, the two yo sts look different from all the others. Are those the purls? My pattern isn't looking right, so any other tips for this type of pattern that a newbie knitter might need would be appreciated.

Thanks so much for any help!

A knit stitch on one side produces a purl stitch on the other side, and vice versa. So anything that was knit on your first row produced purls on the reverse side and so on the second row you will purl those stitche
