Your question is an excellent question!I am a self taught knitter and crocheter. I learned by watching tutorials on YouTube.
If you have access to YouTube then you can, almost all the time, find a tutorial for whatever you need to learn in order to complete a pattern.
Go to YouTube and search "how to pick up stitches"
This way you not only get your questions answered but you can also watch an example or "tutorial" of it being done.
I have been able to do easy to intermediate patterns and some difficult ones as well.
I am addicted to knitting and so I find YouTube a very handy tool to use and learn from. I have been knitting three years now with no plans to stop. I appreciate all the free patterns available and thank all the knitters and crocheters who take the time to put out free patterns etc. For those of us still learning. :)
