How to Knit - The Yarn Over

[BilliesCraftRoom]

Thank you so much for this video. Its so much easier to understand when you see someone do a technique than when you read about it in a book.

You explained it so well, thank you

Best wishes

TY!!!

[jessjeda]

I really enjoy your videos. I'm teaching myself to knit and I cannot learn from written instructions. Your pacing/explanations are excellent. And it's a nice bonus that your voice and hands are beautiful. You've helped me learn several things just tonight. Thank you :)

[timhortons1957]

I am knitting from an old pattern book. Part of the pattern says yarn over, slip one, knit one , psso. After the yarn over do I slip as a knit stitch or as a purl stitch.

[Tauq]

I just wanted to say thanks for such a lovely and informative video! Not only did you explain how to do a yarn over, but also showed how it affects your pattern. I learned so much in 2 minutes! :)

[thejonathanphillips]

lovely and clear and YOU HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FINGERS AND NAILS!!

[elsteffo]

@thejonathanphillips Thanks for your lovely comment - but I have to hand the thanks (pun intended) to my mum for her 'finger genes'.

[craftyshutterbug]

thank you! This video was a huge help! so much easier to understand than any book explained.

[zekenzoey]

Thank you so much for the excellent instructions. It is clear now in a way that books don't convey and I don't have to bother my more advanced friends! Thanks!!

[puddleduck91]

Thank you for the fantastic video! Your instructions are really easy to follow.

[lilchook1]

I am knitting a pattern that says to slip 1 after the YON.does that mean you still knit 1 to create the extra stitch or do you just bring the yarn forward and then slip 1? youur video is great. very clear. thanks

[elsteffo]

@lilchook1 Don't knit one extra stitch - just slip the next stitch and knit the stitch after that.

[2weddings10]

Your video is wonderful and clear. Can you do another to show how to fix mistakes when doing yo as in raglan sleeves?

[xdilkes]

I'm just learning to knit, and you have the clearest instructions I can find anywhere. Bravo, and thanks!

[Super16081974]

nise manicure.:))))

[elsteffo]

@Super16081974 All natural, baby!

[moondog1997]

WOW, this style of knitting seems so strange to me. I've always knitted Continental. Helpful video though, thanks. :)

[Beautyforhire]

loveit thanks so much for your help gr8 video happy knitting

[SoGoGal]

Thank you so much!!!

[michaelB144]

what do you do with the increased number of stitches, if you are supposed to have for eg.20 and now with a yarn over you have more, thanks

[elsteffo]

@michaelB144 If you want a hole but no increase, knit together the two stitches after the yarn over, and this will keep your total number of stitches the same.

[calmingwaters1981]

lol you should be a hand model..really!!

[echobrook85]

Thank you so much. I found this while trying to figure out why my lace knitting never ever comes out as planned. I was convinced that I was making YOs incorrectly. That was kind of true, but the real problem was that I have been making purl stitches incorrectly for years! This video finally pointed out the mistake and I have my first successfully rendered lace scarf in the works. Thanks you so much for setting a self taught knitter onto the road of correct purling and YOs

[elsteffo]

@echobrook85 What a sweet comment. I'm happy to have helped. Enjoy your non-wonky knitting!

[BellebelzIsabelle]

@echobrook85 the people who say that YOs are incorect didn't have a try at all...

[Melasande]

Thank you so much for showing this. I am learning to knit and found the instructions on the sheet for YO very hard to follow.

Your video made it so simple, easy to understand and very easy to see exactly how to do it :) Much appreciated, I can go and knit my scarf now :D

[daliadoll]

I just wanted to say that your videos are awesome! Thank you for posting them. It's really, really helpful.

[Branween]

Thank you! That was very helpful :)

[perlgurl666]

Thank you. I am a new knitter and this was very clear!

[MermaidFairyLover]

[MsMommyof9]

I don't cry anymore when I get stuck and frustrated. I know exactly where to come for help. Thank youthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!­!!! :)

[edamianova]

very clear videos-thank you !

[25mayfl]

helpful...thanks

[lululupe]

Your video is very helpful! Is there any chance you can make a video showing how to fix a yarn over mistake? I don't know how to put it back on the needle if I've miscounted?

[meorchard]

extremely clear explanation!

[writer84]

thanks!

[margyrn]

The yarn over instructions for knit was great. However I need instructions for YO on the purl side.

[nursehaydee]

Excellent explanation. Thanks.

[MsCatfreak]

Excellent! Thank you really helpful

[faith9025]

Thanks for the video. It was really helpful.  :)

[cobaltcanarycherry]

Thank you for your video. Would you please consider demonstrating all the YO types? For example Purl to purl, purl to knit, knit to purl, since you have already given us an excellent start with knit to knit? Love from the USA!

[junemamma]

Thank you so much from Seattle! Beginning knitter and couldn't figure out yarn over in my pattern until seeing this vid. THANKS! :)

[MoonlightPhantomMask]

can you do yarn overs when you purl?

[Scotsjoy]

I agree this is the clearest and most easy to follow video. Can you tell me what is the difference between YO and Yfwd?

Frenchjoy

[elsteffo]

YO is a full wrap of the yarn around the needle and a 'yarn forward' just means bring the yarn to the front of the work, just like you would do when changing between a knit stitch and a purl stitch.

[Scotsjoy]

Many thanks for your reply. I now understand that yo is the same as yrn (yarn round needle)

[Siwela1]

Can u please do video tutorials for the 3other yarn overs just as "hg1bbs" suggested below? It wud be greatly appreciated.

[elsteffo]

Added to the 'list of things to knit' :-)

[Disneylover1023]

Thank you for posting such a clear and easy to follow video!

[spicytiffin]

I think that you are so clear in your instructions and go at a pace that makes it doable. Also, great tone of voice. You are awesome, and most of all THANK YOU!

[pinkisz]

thanks so much for the clear video! Clever using that colour, really makes it clear to see!

[crchtkath]

This is the clearest video I have come across yet. Thank you.

[shugoi95]

I notice you always use the same yarn.^^

[hg1bbs]

Do you have video's of the other 3 types of yarn overs? YO between knit and purl, YO between purl and purl and between purl and knit.

[elsteffo]

No, I don't yet! Those are on the looooong list of videos to make. Stay tuned and I might eventually get around to them!

[momof2pugz]

Thanks! This was very helpful.

[Saxymoodat7216]

Thanks so much! It is refreshing to see a video explanation of these knit stitches that I am trying to learn.

[VeniceLight]

[perilsofrosella]
