Question I understand how to do wyif however on the pattern I am working say to BO 4 stitches at beg. of the next 2 rows. Slip the last 3 sts. of the second row as to purl wyif. Work armhole decs as follows k3,k2tog,knit to the last 5 sts k2tog,sl 3 wyif. Row 2 k to last 3 sts sl 3 wyif. When I slip the sts I don't know what to do next. The yarn is still 3 sts back. What am I missing?
Thanks so much for your help.
Answer It looks like the pattern wants you to work decreases 3 sts . from the edge. But you can't just slip the 3 edge stitches, they have to be worked.
It sounds like this is a translation from an original pattern in another language??
What is the source of this pattern?
I would work the 3 stitches, not slip them.
