Yarn Over

A yarn over is a technique used in knitting that involves wrapping the yarn around the needle. It creates an extra stitch, resulting in an open, lacy effect in the fabric. To make a yarn over, you simply bring the yarn forward between the needles and then over the needle before continuing to the next stitch. This technique is commonly found in patterns to add texture and design, making it a fundamental skill for knitters looking to enhance their work. It is a simple yet effective way to introduce variety to knitting projects.
