I hope you can understand this... please note that I made this pattern off the top of my head while looking at the bootie I made. So it may not all be exactly the same as the one I made.
Have fun knitting.
**I didn't know exactly what the 'yf' stood for....so I found it here (
http://www.hintsandthings.co.uk/workshop/knit2.htm) and include these instruction to help anyone that might also need this information.
**YARN FRONT (yf)
This is used when the yarn is already at the front of the work but would normally be taken to the back before performing the next stitch. e.g. if a Purl stitch has just been done and the next stitch is to be knitted. By leaving the yarn at the front but knitting the next stitch a loop or hole will be made.
I copied this off a thread that didn't have the picture(http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=14033.msg185557#msg185557). I take NO credit for this. I got the link off of Raverlry and put the two together to make it as one!
Love it!
