Hi. I'm a new knitter and am making a scarf in stockinette stitch. Should I make the purl stitches tighter? When I was practicing, I noticed some small spaces or holes in my practice piece where I had purled. I read somewhere where they should be made a little tighter than knit stitches, but I wanted to confirm here. Thank you!
hi i used to have a pattern for a stocking with santa coming out of a chimney ( spell check) i lent it to a friend and they lost it. it was santa on the front and a cresent moon on the back. if anyone knows about this pattern i would love a copy of it. i have learned always make a copy for yourself then lend it out. live and learn. my e-mail is wmart40646@aol.com thanks to any one that can help
pattern says:
*K1. yfwd. K2.
Sl1. K2tog. psso.
k2.yfwd. Rep from * to last st. K1.
My question is; Do I begin with one knit then bring my yarn forward to knit two more increasing to 5 stitches. Then decrease it by 2 stitches on the second line.(to cancel it out) and then add two more from the third line? -making it bigger?
or do I Increase by one on the first line and knit two? Does the yfwd go with the k1 or the K2?
Thanks!

I'm attempting to knit my first pair of baby booties, but I'm having trouble understanding the pattern.
I've got the toe cap, but I can't figure out how to transition into the sides. Here's where I'm at:
Toe Cap:
Cast on 9 sts.
Work 12 rows even in seed st pat.
Cut yarn.
Sides:
Cas on 16 sts.
With RS facing, pick up and knit 8 sts even spaced along right side of toe cap piece, work in seed st across 9 sts of toe top, pick up and knit 8 sts evenly spaced along left side of toe cap piece, cast on 16 sts.

Help needed. I am reading the pattern for a purse and have never cast on at the end of rows. The pattern says after two rows of st st, continue in st st and cast on 5 stitches at the end of next 5 rows. Do I cast on just like the first row? How do I make it st st? Thanks for any direction?

I recently found a project in a knitting made easy book that I'd like to knit. It is called Patchwork Afghan. I was unable to purchase the book at Joann's but would like to get the pattern or purchase the book. If someone can help me please let me know.
Thanks,
Susan

Hello everyone:
HELP!!
I am knitting BERNAT SOFTEE BABY HOODED BABY JACKET. Most of the instructions I understand with the exception of this one phrase that is making me even crazier than I already am.
What is the meaning of: "moss st pat"?
I have searched the Q&A with no luck.
Please help a newbie.
Thank you

Is it a common issue that patterns tell you to by alot more yarn than the project calls for due to dye lot issues, differences in knitting styles, et. al. or am I in a minority here. I just finished a sweater that called for 11 balls of yarn and I knit to gauge no problem, same needle size as called for, and ended up with four balls left over. It's not tragic, but it makes me second-guess myself when purchasing new yarn.
