How to knit dropped stitches aka elongated sts in different lengths
We have already knitted 1 repeat of each to clearly show the difference:
row 1 is worked alternately K1, 1 YO across.
row 2; K1, slip yo off needle, repeat across.
row 3: worked alternately K1, 2 YO's across.
row 4: K1, slip both yo's off needle, repeat across.
Now it's clearly showing how long the sts will be first with 1 yo, and then with 2 yo's.

Hola Anna, para agujas circulares harías exactamente lo mismo que hacen aquí. No hay ninguna diferencia. La única diferencia entre ambas agujas es que tienes espacio para más puntos en la aguja circular.
25.06.2023 - 16:06I'm working on a sweater in drop stitch and at the neckline I have to decrease each row by 1 stitch and I just can't visualize how to do that on a drop stitch /YO row. Any advice? Thanks!
