Yarn Forward (yf)

[@mariannerodney6838]

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much I’ve made such a mess of yo until your video. Please keep posting.

[@donnaquinn6746]

Thanks for showing the stitches! I've always done plain patterns and moss I'm wanting to try a new pattern and a bit different that requires these stitches so thanks for that. 🥀💜🧶

[@faun2639]

You are a lifesaver!! The eyelets on a pattern I’m knitting we’re not very well explained and I understand now! It makes sense now with what you said about US vs English terms. I am used to seeing yo being an American, but I do knit English style (:

[@AllannahTomkins]

Thank you. Very clear explanation.

[@lindamanas6735]

Excellent. Now I understand it!

[@glossydemarco358]

Just what I needed to know. Thank you.

[@maryk174]

Love your explanations 😀

[@violapinkgin]

I had a look at your video again just recently & I agree it is confusing the way it's named by Americans. THANKYOU AGAIN!! 🥀🧶🥀

I am a bit lost with what you do with the extra stitches my pattern says ybk, s1p, yfrt. Can you help me please?

[@Waitakeredame]

Thank you - my pattern says 'knit 2 together' to get rid of that extra stitch but I didn't know how 'yarn forward' was done.

Hi Fiona, In have been working a simple pattern for a throw; Row 1. K1 *yf k2tog, yf k2tog to last stitch then k1. Row 2, purl the whole row. I have so far knitted a foot long piece with cotton yarn and it's looks attractive and Lacey and is easy, but.... My question is this; Why does the knitting slant, I have just noticed after all the rows that I have knitted and my knitting does not look like a rectangle, it's sloping, I am worried. If I start again will it slant again? Please advise me. I have 54 stitches. Thank you!

You may be increasing accidentally. I had the same problem when someone informed me I may be increasing unknowingly. Check "accidental increases in knitting" on youtube. Several great videos that helped me correct the problem. Happy knitting.

fiona i'm having a very difficult time watching this video as it looks like the wooden table in the background is breathing, writhing like a living being. at first i thought i was hallucinating but now i feel like i'm going to vomit. it was a very good tutorial nonetheless

[@donnaquinn6746]

I see what you mean about table 😄😄 its just the magnifying glass when moving needle. Just concentrate on her movements and you won't notice it lol....😄🥴🤪😅

[@nancyincanada5553]

Very helpful tutorial. thank you!

[@engratiabanks9033]

Did it🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 thanks

[@stephaniem7374]

Anyone know what ytf means?? My pattern tells me to *ytf, sl 1, K2 tog, psso, ytf, K9

[@onetiredwriter]

yarn to front - so as if you were purling. your pattern means, i think - slip 1 stitch with yarn in front, knit next 2 stitches together, pass the slipped stich over the k2tog, then yarn to front again, then knit next 9 stitches. i think of ytf as a yarn over

[@minakshibahadur8583]

Thank you! Very clear

[@SCGNiagara101]

We call it yarn forward. Anyways, how to do yf and then turn?

[@francesmadden306]

That is what it says in my pattern can’t find an answer

[@charlenechappell6946]

Thank you Fiona! Was confused and you helped me. (-:

Cool and thank you xxx

[@Banferti]

Very informative thank you! ^_^

[@christianeely3298]

hi there. I am new to this. when you finish your row and knit the next row, do you knit this extra stiches ? i an confused but then it would mean each row i am increasing my number of stitches. thank you for coming back to me

[@donnaquinn6746]

Knit the extra stitch as usual

[@ravenleedavid9626]

How do you not get holes

[@djfeather4646]

The whole point of a yarn over (YF etc) IS to make holes. It is a stitch used specifically in lace patterns.

[@donnaquinn6746]

DONT do a pattern that says YARN OVER OR YARN FWD!
