Q&A for How to Yarn Over

Begin with a foundation chain that comprises a multiple of 3+1 stitches. Commence by double crocheting in the 4th chain from the hook. Consider the turning chain and the initial double crochet as the first V-stitch. Skip the next two chains and double-crochet in the subsequent chain. Follow it up by chaining one and double-crocheting in the same stitch. Skip the next two chains, then proceed to form the next V-stitch in the following chain: execute a double crochet, chain one, and double crochet again. Continue this pattern until you reach the end of the chain.

The stitch before the yarn over depends on what pattern you are knitting. If you were knitting the entire row, the stitch before the yarn over will be a knit stitch. If you were purling the entire row, the stitch before the yarn over will be a purl stitch. If you were doing a rib or seed pattern, the stitch is simply the last stitch you did—either a knit or purl.

Knit the next row straight across if that is what your instructions say. If you end up with too many stitches, you may accidentally be doing a yarn over in the knit-only row.

Always push that right needle through the next stitch passed the tapered part of the needle and onto the wider part.

Pull the yarn from the back to the front and over the top of the needle. N1 refers to knitting the next stitch.

Pull the yarn from the back to the front and over the top of the needle, then knit the next 2 stitches. If the pattern has k2 tog, then the next 2 stitches knitted together and are decreased to 1 stitch.

Begin by knitting 1 stitch. Pull the yarn from the back to the front and over the top of the needle. Knit the next stitch. Again, pull the yarn from the back to the front and over the top of the needle. Knit the next stitch.

Knit seven stitches. Knit the next two stitches together and bring the yarn to the front (one time). The yarn will be crossing over the top of the needle to knit the next two stitches together and bring the yarn to the front (two times). The yarn will be crossing over the top of the needle to knit the next two stitches together and bring the yarn to the front (three times).

The pattern is creating a lace design. Any time a psso is done on a row, it is a decrease with a stitch added back in that forms the hole. Without the "hole" you will end up decreasing the number of stitches on your project.

Yes, knitted lace creates its basic lacy look with k2 tog yo in one row followed by a straight row.

You are not doing anything wrong. The holes are for threading ribbon or cording for the finishing touch. If the pattern is being repeated, it creates a lace effect.

That is correct unless the pattern for whatever reason says not, yarning over is a type of increasing, therefore you will count it as a stitch. For example, if you have 24 stitches and then yarn over, you will have 25 stitches, and will knit or purl into it like normal.

The yarn is wrapped around the needle the number of times indicated. This will create a lacy open stitch as only one loop is knitted on the next row. Check the pattern as it is not possible to easily knit through all those loops when working the next row. It can be tricky to work the pattern stitches, so take your time, and go slowly.

Knit 1 and yarn over, most likely. I don't know the context so use your best guess for the pattern.

Just like you normally would. It's exactly the same. Yarning over is always exactly the same unless the pattern specifies otherwise.

yfon = yarn forward over needle: bring yarn to the front of the work and over the top of the needle to the back of the work. Next, knit the next 2 stitches together. You are making a replacement stitch to replace the decreased stitch when you knit 2 stitches together. This creates a lace pattern in the work.
