yarn over
Needle-wrapping stitch technique
A yarn over is a knitting technique that creates a new stitch by wrapping the yarn around the needle before making the next stitch.
It leaves a small decorative hole in the fabric, making it essential for lace patterns and eyelets.
Also used to increase stitch count: Yarn over, knit two together.
