I am having trouble with this around line 33. What exactly am I supposed to do so that my 20 stitches becomes 29? I am not understanding.

Hi Rebecca: I’m sorry you’re having trouble. Hope this helps… On the row 32 you have 20 sts on your needle — Next row you will be inserting a YarnOver between every 2 stitches, thus adding stitches to your needle (29). On the next row you will knit these YOs and they will become the eyelet border holes that are like along the sides. Like this: Line 32: I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I (20) Line 33: I I Y I I Y I I Y I I Y I I Y I I Y I I Y I I Y I I Y I I (29) Line 34: I I I ___ I ___ I ___ I ___ I ___ I ___ I ___ I ___ I I I (21) (above)Line 34: You will be K2 then Knit the YO and K2tog ____ (that shows the K2tog) geeezzz I’m cross eyed now! I hope that helps! With the YOs you are adding stitches on one line then the next line you are making little holes out of them . I tried getting the Ys where they are suppose to be above …I hope sending it doesn’t mess it up. Let me know if this helps – I can help you more if you need it! It really does work – I know you can do it! Linda

I am having the same problem as Rebecca. For some reason I end up with 28 stitches on row 33 which then throws the next row off. I tried going by your above details (which you went to so much work for us and thank you) and I still end up with 28. I am so sorry to be a brainless knitter and I see you made them just fine. So I am going to try again to see what I am doing wrong. I did make the large one and it was perfect. So it’s just me. Thanks for being so understanding.

I’m so sorry you and Rebecca are having trouble with this little coaster!..you are so close to being done, right at the end there. Let’s see…make sure you have 20 sts before you go on to that next adding YO row. make sure you do Knit 2 at start and end. Sometimes if you write it out on paper like I did, it makes it more visual and to help counting where the stitches are suppose to be. Try again. Once you get it you will be making lots of these. Let me know.

Thanks for your time and help. I am going to try it again and double check every stitch. lol. I’m not doubting you please know this, but I am really doubting myself. I had 20 sts on so it has to be in the next row I am doing something wrong. It is such a cute idea and the pattern is so easy, so here goes. I will let you know how I did…Again, Thank you so much

I just wanted to tell you I finally did it correct. I either need to go back to school and learn to count or I didn’t do the right amount of YO’s. But I had peace and quiet and did it right. It was so strange that Rebecca had the same problem at the same place. I am so sorry for bothering you about this. Yea, I did it!!! Susie
