How to Make a Yarn

When a knitting chart indicates that you need to make a yarn over, it means that you need to increase the number of stitches in a row or leave space in the weft to create buttonholes or lace.Although the technique may vary slightly between English knitting (the thread is held in the right hand and "thrown" over the needle) and Continental knitting (the thread is held in the left hand and then "picked up" with the right hand needle) , the basic principle does not change.

  1. Both needles must be inserted into the work with at least one stitch on the right one.
  2. If you are purling stitches, the yarn should already be in front.If, however, you are knitting straight stitches, then bring the loose thread between the needles, in front of the work.
  3. This movement allows you to carry it with you at work.If the next stitch needs to be reversed, continue wrapping the thread around the left needle until it is in front of the work between the two needles (basically you have to make a turn and a half).
    • Do not move on to the next stitch before completing this step.The yarn over is basically an extra point.
  4. Proceed as normal, regardless of whether the stitch is purled or knitted.Alternatively you can decrease by one stitch.
    • Some instructions indicate a double yarn over.In this case, wrap the yarn once more on the right needle, just like you did in the third step.

  1. Both needles must be inserted into the work with at least one stitch on the right one.
  2. Bring the iron towards you passing under or behind the thread.This way the thread itself remains above the right needle but behind the work.Grasp the thread with your right index finger to prevent it from slipping off the needle.
    • If the next stitch is purled, then you can make the yarn over in the same way, except the yarn needs to be in front of your work at the end of the stitch and not behind it.
    • Don't move on to the next stitch before completing this step, because the yarn over is essentially an extra stitch.
  3. Proceed as normal, regardless of whether the stitch is purled or knitted.Alternatively you can decrease by one stitch.
    • Some instruction patterns call for a double yarn over.In this case you have to recover the thread with the right needle another time, as you did in the third step.
