How to: Eyelets

     Eyelets are used for decoration and lace. They are very beautiful and are also very easy to make!

     To begin, knit up to the point that you wish to make the eyelet.


     Yarn over, and leave it on the right-hand needle. This will keep the amount of stitches on your needle constant.


     If you want your eyelet to slant right, k2tog the next two stitches.
     If you want your eyelet to slant left, ssk before you yarn over.

          (K2tog)

          (Ssk)


     After a few rounds, your eyelets will look like this!


     I have to admit, this swatch looks a lot better in person...
