Repeat rows 1-6 until you have reached your desired length.
When you wrap the yarn around the needle it is called yrn or ywn which is not the same as yarn over needle.
yrn and ywn are types of yarn overs, more specifically used when going from a knit stitch to a purl stitch. But many US patterns do not make the distinction, using YO for anytime the yarn is wrapped around the needle, which is probably what happened in this pattern.
I noticed when you slipped your stitch in this pattern you did it purlwise. I always slip my stitches knitwise. Am I doing this wrong? How do you know which way to slip that stitch…is there a special rule? Will the pattern look different if I do the slip knitwise rather than purlwise? Thanks,Susan
Unless your pattern says otherwise, you should be slipping the stitch purlwise. If you slip it knit wise you’ll be twisting the stitch.
Love Your web pages. Could you please show me how to p3 tbl on a video.
Thank you

I like this pattern very much! But I would like to multiply the pattern for a shawl.
I don’t know what the side sts are, what is the repeat.
There are no [ ] or * in this pattern.
Sorry for my english, I hope that you understand what I mean.
Thank you already for your answer.
Kind regards,

This stitch doesn’t work that way. You will knit it until it is the length that you need and then attach it to the edge of your project.
