Yo's-- help!!

Feb 21, 2009 18:28

Once upon a time ago, I made a scarf with yo's (yarn overs for those newbies who don't have all they acronyms down :>). Unfortunately, my handy-dandy pocket guide that clearly illustrated yo's is lost. I thought I knew how to do them, so I wasn't sweating it.

Yarn-over - wrap the yarn over the needle from back to front, leaving it in position to knit. There is no need to knit a stitch afterwards.

Yes, you can. The stitch to knit into is the yo - it works as well on the end of a needle as it does between stitches.
