Bring the yarn forward if on the public (front or knit) side or back if on the private (back or purl) side. Slide the next stitch from the right hand needle to the left needle by holding the two needles point-to-point. Then bring the yarn back if on the public (front or knit) side or forward if on the private (back or purl) side. Then move the slipped stitch back to the right needle, again with the two needles held point-to-point.

Stitches are wrapped to prevent holes in the fabric when working "short rows." A short row occurs when you knit part way across a row and without finishing that row turn and knit back. Short row shaping is used to form three dimensional curves such as heels in socks or shaping for bust lines.

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 do you do a m1 k1 m1 in a row of knitting?

To perform a m1 k1 m1 in a row of knitting, start by making a "make one" (m1) stitch, which involves lifting the yarn between the stitches and knitting into it to create an extra stitch. Next, knit one stitch (k1) as usual. Finally, make another m1 in the same way as the first, lifting the yarn between the newly knitted stitch and the next stitch to create another extra stitch. This sequence adds two new stitches to your row.
