Photos in this Series

1. A K stitch has been completed and is on the right hand needle. Now bring the yarn under the right hand needle from back to front and then wrap it over the right hand needle from front to back.
2. Complete the next knit stitch as you normally would, passing the right hand needle through the loop on the left hand needle, yarning over and drawing the yarn though the loop. The YO loop can be identified because of its slanted orientation.
3. The third photo shows the yarn over loop, sandwiched between two regular knit stitches.
