I am making your waffle sleep sack and cap. I am at the row where it says next round: K8 (9) “yo, k2tog. Repeat from * around. (8 yo). does this mean k8, yo k2tog continuing with just the yo, k2tog to the end of the row? Or does it mean k8, yo k2 tog, k8, yo, k2 tog etc. hope I am not confusing. Tks so much
Having trouble reading directions on waff sleep sack. On row k8, yo, k2tog does that mean continue with k8, yO k2 tog for the rest of the whole row
Yes that's the right size. It is tight the first couple rounds, but gets easier. Be sure you are using worsted weight yarn.
