Hi Noeleen. How can I help you? Do want another video? Reverse yarn over is similar to yarn over stitch but done in opposite direction. Let me know how can I help you

Your knit stitch looks backwards to me so to do your pt I can’t follow the photos or the video

It looks like there are now 3 stitches for 1. Is that right ??
