ROW 2 TUTORIAL

LEFT HANDED

Insert your needle into the next stitch knit wise, wrap your yarn around your working needle 3 times, pull through your stitch.

ROW 3 TUTORIAL

LEFT HANDED

RIGHT HANDED

Place your yarn to the back. Slip the first wrap only from the 5 3wrapped stitches from row 2 purlwise (making a long stitch). Now wrap your yarn around the post of those long stitches twice, back to front. You will need to move your stitches from holding needle to working needle as you do this. Or you could cheat and place these 5 long stitched on a safety pin, stitch marker or cable needle and wrap around them. Your daisy is now formed. Bring your yarn to the front to purl your next stitch.
