im reading the next pattern i'm going to do and got confused.

4th row: sl.1, k.1, k.2tog, y.fwd (yarn foward), k.3

i don't know what im supposed to do when it says this.
Could anyone help? Thank you.

Hi Gabbi,

I got stuck with this one myself too! If you take a look in the Glossary: http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/knitting-glossary

It has a few different deffinitions for yarn foward. Basically, I think on here it's called yarn over (YO) and there is a video on how to do it in the glossary too.

If you'd prefer a Mod, or more experianced knitter, to come along and comfirm I completely understand. :D

Since you're doing a k2tog, then it would be a YO. Just bring the yarn forward as if you were going to purl, and then knit the next stitch. This will create your YO stitch.

So,OxxxAmandaxxxO, you were right!

It's not that often that I get things right, so I've got to celebrate.

Btw, just Amanda is fine.
