You've knitted your share of scarves in the stockinette stitch. You've purled your way through dozens of hats. Right. Now it's time to get more involved and use the two knitting stitches in combination—for a richer, more textured collection of greater variety:

Diamond Lattice Pattern Stitch
For a crossed stitches knitting design which is raised and which has some elasticity, try the Diamond Lattice Stitch
For the beginning (cast-on) row: multiple of 14 sitches plus 1

Di - Your Question:
You have various patterns on your site, and you have glossary of different abbreviations. The one I can't find is "yo",, used in your patterns! Please explain how to do "yo" - thank youeg:Row 1: k1 (yo, k2,p3, p3tog), p3, k2, yo, k1Row 2: p4, k7, p3, end w/p1Row 3: k1, (k1, yo, k2, p2, p3tog , p2, k2, yo, k2)Row 4: p5, k5, p4, end w/p1
Our Response:
It's practically the same as yrn (yarn round needle) in the abbreviations list. You effectively bring the yarn to the opposite side of your next stitch (round the needle) which means you create an extra stitch and therefore a hole...usually you will knit two together to make sure you have the same number of stitches on your needle.

Andrea - Your Question:
Hi I am struggling with a knitting pattern and hope somebody can help with the followingC *Knit 1 st, leaving old stitch on left needle, twist the new stitch and place it on the left needle repeat 6 times from *), cast off the new 7 sts. any help woud be much appreciated
Our Response:
It's too make little strips that stick out from the main body of the pattern (like little worms). Effectively you're creating 6 new stitches and then casting off again, so a little strip hangs out from your knitting. Sorry that's the best we can explain it...hope it make sense!

KateCGC - Your Question:
I am a novice to knitting. My first pattern has these instructions:Ribbing*k2, P2* for 4 rounds in color A.By 4 rounds, does that mean 4 rows?Thank you KW
Our Response:
Usually rounds refer to actual "rounds" referred to because they are used for "tube" patterns such as socks and bootees knitted withthree needles. Is this what you're knitting? If so then, yes a "round" is a row. It's quite ambitious for a novice to knitting.
