And Now Back To…Knitting June 5, 2014 – Posted in: How to, Thursday This and That

After posting about the ‘pxtog’ last week, I do realize that there might be questions about the ‘kxtog’. Of course there is a way to make those easier, too. The idea is the same, however, instead of slipping the stitches first and then passing them over, you have to knit 2 together first and then pass the remaining stitches over. Not difficult, but I want to show you anyways.

Shown is k5tog.

Knit two together.

Slide stitches just knit back to left hand needle.

Start passing the adequate number of stitches over the k2tog. (For k5tog, pass 3 additional stitches over the k2tog.)

There. K5tog. (Or 8, or 10 etc.)

Happy Knitting, as ever!
