Knitting Help - Yarn Over

The yarn over is a one-stitch increase that leaves a hole in the work.

This video funnily enough helped me solve my super tight cast offs!! Someone said that using the yarn over method when you cast off will help keep the cast off loose and it actually worked! So thank you for teaching me how to yarn over it really taught me multiple new things 😁😁

The way you knit isn't strange. :) It is one of two common ways of knitting, called "Continental". Working a yarn-over in Continental knitting is very much the same, you're going to wrap the right needle with the working yarn. It takes a little more finagling in your case - you may have to hang on to the YO a bit with your right index finger to keep it from sliding off as you work the next stitch. Hope that helps!

[verypinkknits]

Yes, that will leave a hole. Your best bet is to just let the extra yarn-over drop off the end of the needle, and forget it ever existed. :) If you see a tension issue in your work after that, you'll need to rip back and eliminate that extra yarn that was the yarn-over.

If you have a pattern that is *k1, yo, k1, yo, k4, sl 1, k2tog, psso, k3* For Each yarn over do you have to knit one to complete the yarn over? and then if it says K1 after the YO then you k1 again?

Thank you so much, you are great at teaching ❤

Doesn’t clarify if the knit stitch is part of the yarn over stitch.

[GemLesEtoiles]

I knit in a strange fashion, where i hold my yarn in the left hand and just "grab" the yarn through my loops and pull through. How would I go about a YO if I am doing this?
PS thank you so very much for your videos, they are so clear and easy to follow!

[christinabarbrothomas]

Brilliant demo. Thank you. I'm struggling with a yo from a purl stitch to a knit stitch and I can't find a video for it. Help!

[KristiLeeVan]

This was very clear. Thanks for explaining what to do with the extra loop!

[MD-knits]

Stupid question time. So if a pattern calls for “YO, k2tog” does this mean to just move the yarn to the front then knit two together? Or do a yarn over stitch then knit two together? Thanks for the great video!

Would you please do a video about how you knit with the yarn around/over your right index finger???
