in between your stitches are bars going horizontally.. gently spread your staitches apart and you will see the horizontal bar .. this is the bar.. to knit this bar you pick it up using your right hand needle and place it on your left needle then knit as if it is the next stitch you would be knitting .. make sure to knit it thru the back if you dont want a hole ( this will be twisting the bar ) or thru the front if you want a hole

How do you knit twice into yarn over?

Usually the pattern you are working will tell you the preferred method. Typically it is done through knitting into the front and then into the back of a stitch. A regular knit stitch is done like this: Put right-hand needle through the right-most stitch on the left needle, wrap yarn over right-hand needle, pull stitch through, and pull loop off the left-hand needle A knit stitch through the back is done like this: Put right-hand needle through the right-most stitch on the left needle on the back side of the needle (that's from the right side, but catch the back side of the loop) , wrap yarn over right-hand needle, pull stitch through, and pull loop off the left-hand needle To do them in the same stitch: perform a regular knit stitch, but do not pull the loop off the left hand needle (if feels very awkward, but don't panic), then put the needle through the back of the loop and complete the knit. The end result is one more stitch than you had before. http://handmadebyjody.blogspot.com http://handmadebyjody.etsy.com

What does passo mean on knitting pattern?

The typical abbreviation is psso and it stands for "Pass the slip stitch over".This stitch is used to decrease and is usually part of the stitch abbreviation SKP, which stands for "slide 1, knit 1, psso"To do this decrease, you want to take your right needle and insert it into the stitch on your left needle and move the stitch to your right needle. So you have just slipped the stitch from one needle to the other, without knitting or purling it.Now you want to knit the next stitch.Then take the slipped stitch and pull it over the knit stitch. This is passing the slipped stitch over the knit stitch, which means that you have 1 less stitch than you did before.


How can you make a stitch in knitting a not make a hole?

The best way is to knit the bar between the stitches. This is known as a 'bar increase', and there are how-to's and videos online. If you pull your knitting apart slightly, you'll see a bar just beneath the point on the needles where you are knitting. Put your right needle under this bar, lift it up and put it on your left needle. Knit it as normal. Ta-da! Now you have one more stitch.
