YO eyelets

[Tamar Dohel]

I'm making yarn-over eyelets for an evening bag and my question is how do I make the eyelets slightly bigger? I'm using using yarn and needles thinner than the original pattern and I susspect that my eyelets will be too small for the cord closure to loop through.

Thanks
Tamar

Knit through the back loop (ktbl) of the yo instead of the normal way--that really opens up the hole and will ensure you can get a cord or ribbon or whatever through.
