What do the directions to make a hole (MH) in this pattern mean?

by Susan G.
(Wilson, NC)

In the Odyssey Shawl pattern by Joji Locatelli the directions for row 5 of the lace band asks you to make a hole (MH). The directions to make a hole are: With the left needle, from the front, lift up the bar in-between stitches, knit one, yarn over, knit one, yarn over, knit one, yarn over into that bar.

My question is: what do I do with the bar after I have done the knit and yarn over three times into it? Do I just let it drop back in without doing anything else with it? Or am I supposed to knit it as part of the knit five which follows the MH?

Odyssey Shawl MH question
by: Ratchadawan

I think Joji, the designer might be able to give you with the advice on this. You can contact her at her email address on the last page of the pattern.

MH tutorial for Odyssey Shawl?
by: Anonymous

I am struggling with this same MH in Odyssey Shawl. Is there a tutorial for this particular version of MH other than the Spanish one? I have ripped out this row 3 times now because I don’t come out with the same number of stitches for the repeat!

Question about MH in a shawl pattern
by: Ratchadawan

Hi Susan,

Thanks for the question! You can just drop the bar after you're done with the MH. I took a look at the pattern on Ravelry and it looks cute.

Have fun making the shawl!
