Confused and messed up...I have holes! After knitting the 6 stitch short rows across the entire row, (Section 1) Work 1 row over all sts from WS and inc as before.) Do you then knit a row, in the same color, across the row? As this is the point where I get holes. I then go on to Section 2 and knit the first six stitchs (with a YO at the begininning), turn it and knit back to the beginning where I knit 1, YO, then knit 12 stitches.How can I avoid the holes?

How to knit a hooded scarf, following DROPS pattern 253-61

In this DROPS video, we have already worked the hood (size L/XL) and placed the stitches on 2 stitch holders. We now show how to knit up stitches around the hood and work an I-cord bind-off until there are 2 stitches left on the row. These 2 stitches are placed on one of the stitch holders, while 2 stitches are picked up on the other side and placed on the second stitch holder. Read I-CORD BIND-OFF in the pattern text. Cut the strand. Place the stitches from one stitch holder back on the needles. Now we show you how to cast on stitches for the right-hand side of the scarf, work 1 row before knitting together the hood and scarf, starting mid-back. At the same time, you work I-cord edge stitches and moss stitch rib. Read the explanations in the pattern text, for I-CORD BIND-OFF, 2 I-CORD EDGE STITCHES, moss stitch rib and how the hood and scarf are joined. When all stitches are picked up from the hood (50 rows worked), the 2 stitches from the stitch holder are still separate and on the stitch holder (in the video they are placed on the needle). Knit these 2 stitches (in size S/M there are 3 stitches on the stitch holder, you then knit 1 and knit the other 2 stitches together). Then work back from the wrong side with 2 I-cord edge stitches, purl 2 together, work moss stitch rib until there are 3 stitches left, purl 1 and work 2 I-cord edge stitches. Read the explanation in the pattern text on how and where to bind off the scarf’s right-hand side. We show row 1 (from the right side) of the 8 first rows, then how to bind off on row 1 (from the right side). Now work the left-hand side of the scarf, then sew the cast-on edges on the right and left-hand sides of the scarf together mid-back, using grafting stitch. We use the yarns DROPS Daisy and DROPS Kid-Silk in the video, with the same colors and needle size as in the pattern.
