Non-Increasing Eyelet
Hi there, I am new to the forum and have a question.
I am having a problem figuring out this stitch called a "non-increasing eyelet." Can someone help me figure it out?

I have 2 stitches followed by three yarn-overs on the needle.
These are the instructions:

“Insert needle into first 2 sts as if to k2tog, then insert needle under all 3 strands of yo and k5tog (the last 2 sts and the 3 yo), then purl all 3 yo strands at once.

Thanks.

Hi and welcome!
This one ways a new one to me but I tried it on the needles and it's just possible to do. I slipped the first 2sts to the right needle knitwise and then inserted the right needle into the 3 yarn overs and knit them together. Then I slipped the first 2 knit sts which were sitting on the right needle over the st made by knitting the 3 yarn overs together. To purl into the 3 yarnovers I picked them up with the left needle and purled into them. In the end I had 2sts on the right needle in place of the original 2sts.
The hardest part is knitting into the 3 yarn
