Decreasing as set

[norahmc]

Help please. I am a fairly new at this....

I currently have 93 stitches on my row, what does the following mean:

buttonhole row: K2, k2tog, y2rn, skpo, k to end, decreasing as set. 85 sts.

It is the "decreasing as set" that I don't understand. How can I go from 93 to 85 stitches especially when y2rn means putting the yarn around the needle twice (I think).

After I figure out what that means, this is the next line: Work to end, working twice in y2rn.

I'm not sure at what point "working twice in y2rn" happens??

Change to smaller needles.

K to end, decreasing as set. Oh no, the decreasing as set is back again!

Thanks, appreciate any help out there.

The "K2, k2tog, y2rn, skpo" instructions are just for making the buttonhole at one edge and only on the buttonhole rows. The decreases are on the other edge where you've probably been doing them on previous rows.
