Getting It Right
Working an odd number of stitches in a row involves all the same moves shown above â yarnovers, purlwise slipped stitches, and knits â but in a different order and number (see next page).
Getting It Right
It is important to pull tightly on the end stitches when working in rows. This keeps the stitches from getting too loose, especially in rows with an odd number of stitches where you are slipping the first stitch on some rows.
Working in Rows/Odd
K1, *yo, K1; repeat from * across.
K1, *slip next stitch purlwise with yarn in front, K1; repeat from * across.
With yarn in front, slip first stitch purlwise, *K1, slip next stitch purlwise with yarn in front; repeat from * across.
Repeat step 3.
Repeat step 4.
K1, *P1, K1; repeat from * across.
Change to needles used for ribbing. P1, *K1, P1; repeat from * across.
Repeat steps 7 and 8 until ribbing is the desired length. Remove waste yarn.
Working in Rounds
*K1, yo; repeat from * to end. Join into a round, being careful not to twist stitches.
*K1, slip next stitch purlwise with yarn in front; repeat from * around.
