You can knit or purl to the hole and then bring up the yarn with a crochet hook. You will soon see whether to bring it under or over the back and forth yarn. Hard to explain without a picture but you might be able to find one on youtube or google. How this helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272011621886845281noreply@blogger.com
