How to knit // KYOK Increase (k1, yo, k1 into the same stitch)

KYOK increase or "k1, yo, k1 into the same stitch" is centered double increase that increases one stitch to three stitches. It's used to rapidly increase the number of stitches in knitting and is used to create the ruffled edge in our Shattered Sun Shawl pattern (sweetgeorgiayar....

Thank you! I thought I was doing this increase wrong. Have a great day!

[@cherylcollins7385]

Thank for this video. I was puzzled for hours.

[@lcritter]

Felicia, annie here. Your voice is just perfect for instructional videos! Love it!

[@sweetgeorgia]

Aww thank you so much Annie!! I so appreciate the encouragement :)

Wonderful explanation and demo. Very much appreciated.

[@karinwinn7073]

You saved my life with a new pattern! I subscribed to your channel, as I believe I'll be checking you out frequently; thank you!

Hi
I’m looking to do the Fiddlehead Cowl from Purl Soho free pattern. They call for that increase in the seed stitch pattern done in round on size 13 needles 16 inches long. With now having three stitches instead of one, how would I do the seed stitch? Could you please go to their site, and look at the pattern to help me. Also how many markers are added after the first special marker. Sad to say they no longer have their store anymore in Manhattan to be able to go and have them show me.

[@annakostaras8880]

Thank you. Can you help with this instruction in a pattern for a cowl. It's knitted in the round and round 7 baffles me. It reads *K2, k2tog, yo (k1,yo,k1) in sy 3 rnds below.......... It's the instruction in parentheses that is baffling. I wonder if you could help.

[@humbledaisy]

Thanks for creating this video- it was very helpful. I was actually sitting on the sidelines of my son’s soccer game when I needed this explanation. Otherwise, it would have been a very long Knitting-less game . . .

[@anepictree]

Hello, thanks for this very clear demo - is this what I'm looking for if it says K2 in same st ? Thanks again

[@sweetgeorgia]

Knitting into the same stitch twice (K2 in same stitch) might also be called "KFB" or "knitting into the front and back of the stitch". That should produce two stitches where there was one. In the tutorial here, the k1, yo, 1 actually produces three stitches where there was one. Hope that helps!

[@anepictree]

@@sweetgeorgia Thank you SO much, yes that is exactly what I was looking for, making two from one. I've found a demo of what you have explained and it fits the increases in the pattern I'm trying perfectly. thanks again for taking the time to help me in this :-)

[@knitknack2285]

Thanks for explaining! Could you show us how to do a k1,yo, k1 into the slip knot?

[@creationoflove84]

perfection! just what i was looking for xoxo Thank you so much

[@danawouster974]

so when coming back the next row would we knit or purl every stitch?

[@estelledemulder9082]

Depends on the pattern. They are considered as knit, but the last of the Kyok will have a slight ridge beneath.

[@idamoore4215]

Thank you. This was just what I needed

[@juansmari115]

What needles are you using?

[@audrascanlan900]

Thank you but can you please do a tutorial for left handed knitter

[@michellesims4896]

The pattern I am trying uses this increase for a sweater. This increase is used at the yolk to make the sweater wider knit in the round from the neck. For the first row it tells you where to place the stitch marker and asks to use this increase on that stitch - where do I then move the marker / know which stitch to do this increase on in subsequent rounds so that my row of 'holes' is neat/even??

[@sweetgeorgia]

Hmm, that's a very good question! I'm not sure I can answer if I don't know the pattern itself... I'm thinking that the pattern should have that information in the instructions there. The way I have made these increases in subsequent rounds is to work them into the same centre stitch so that they line up and stack evenly... but this may or may not be the same as your pattern.

[@thewoolseeker6076]

Aah! I have the same problem! I think what makes most sense would be the middle stitch of the 3 (the yarn over) becomes the next marked stitch. I am also very confused with my pattern that does not have any information on this.

[@sunne1954home]

yolk because it's the colour of egg yolk?;) yoke

[@faduncan3765]

Excellent- thank you. I opened a new pattern and saw this instruction and turned to you tube for explanation. 👍👍Merci
