How-to Questions johnnaa May 16, 2008, 7:30am 1 Okay this may seem strange but how do you yf? If the yarn is in front, do you bring the yarn back over to knit the stitch? :woot: Johnna :knitting: blueygh2 May 16, 2008, 9:01am 2 yf is “yarn to front”, so you just bring the yarn to the front, between the needles. Usually that is done to purl stitches. Knitting stitches with yf results in twisted twisted stitches. I don’t know if that is the intention, but I would say that… I don’t really have a clue right now Sorry Only thing I can say that yarn in front is used to purl. Correct me if I’m wrong… Spokaloo May 16, 2008, 1:43pm 3 If your yarn is already in front, then this YF is actually a YO – Yarn Over. That means you bring your yarn up and over the right needle to the back, then between the needles to the front again. This will create a hole in your work for a lacy effect. If your yarn was in BACK, then YF would mean to simply bring the yarn between the needles from back to front, just as if you were going from a knit stitch to a purl.

I have also seen yfwd (which means yarn forward and seems like what yf could also mean) used to mean do what we call a yarn over in American terms. If a yarn over makes sense in your case I’d say it means that. johnnaa May 18, 2008, 8:22am 5 Thanks so much for your reply. The thing is, Im supposed to knit after I YF. Thats whats weird. Have you ever heard of such a thing? blueygh2 May 18, 2008, 10:00am 6 Well, in the case of yf being a yarn over, you bring the yarn to the front between the needles and back over the right needle, then you knit. MerigoldinWA May 18, 2008, 10:53am 7 What are the stitches before and after the yf? Okay this may seem strange but how do you yf? If the yarn is in front, do you bring the yarn back over to knit the stitch? From this and what you said here: The thing is, Im supposed to knit after I YF It sounds like you may have just purled a stitch and then you are to do the yf and knit the next stitch? Is this right? This advise is if the yf is supposed to make a hole of some kind. Here is how you do a yo after a purl and before a knit. You just purled, so the yarn is already in front. Just lift the yarn up over the top of the RH needle (don’t go between the needle tips) and hold it there as you knit the next stitch. This causes an extra stand of yarn to be laid over the needle between the purl stitch you did and the knit stitch you did last. That little strand is the yarn over. When you work it as a stitch in the next row it will make a hole. Usually a yarn over is worked in conjunction with a decrease (often a simple k2tog, but not always) to keep the number of stitches in a row the same as it was to start with. The decrease could be immediate or somewhere else in the row. Or, sometimes you add stitches in a row and don’t get rid of them until a little later, or I suppose maybe never in some instances.
