I got the k1 p1, but what is pu12?
April 27th, 2005So I am making the kitty hat from the Stich-n-Bitch book and I am ready to put the ears on because I have MASTERED Icording. And I love knitting in the round. But the directions say something like measuring down 3/4 inches from the top and placing the ear a little front of center above the earflap. And then it says, pu12. And yesterday my knitting instructor showed me how to use a crochet needle to pull the loops up through the back of the hat and then put them onto a knitting needle. And so I can get the twelve little loops all in a row (I am assuming that pu 12 means pull 12 loops through), BUT THEN I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!?! Can anyone tell me? I mean, the yarn is now coming from the inside of the hat, so do I break the yarn and then just follow the pattern on the 12 stiches I have pulled through the hat? If so, what do I do with the ends of the 12 pulled through stitches? Do I tie them down? I just don’t get it.
As you can tell, I am a little obsessed with this knitting thing. I am getting ready to move onto a sweater I think. But I am going to need all of the technical assistance I can get.
