W&T-Wrap and turn
|
e-wrap the peg but do not work, turn to go in the opposite direction. Video
Wrap & Turn (w&t), Can be done 2 different ways: For simple hat brims: Simply wrap the peg indicated and go back the other way. Do not knit unless instructed to do so until next row. (Increase made).
For socks or other items, this is the more “correct” way to do a wrap and turn:
1. Knit/purl to where the w&t is called for; take the stitch off the next peg and hold it with your knitting tool.
2. Wrap around the back of the now empty peg by coming behind and to the front of the peg.
3. Place the stitch from your knitting tool back on the peg.
4. With working yarn, knit or purl back in the opposite direction without knitting the peg you did the W&T on.
