What is yarn forward in knitting?
Yarn forward is a knit stitch that is generally called yarn over or YO instead of yarn forward. Sometimes it may even be referred to as yarn round the needle (YRN), yarn forward and round the needle (YFRN), yarn over needle (YON) or yarn forward and over needle (YFON). In any case, the purpose of the yarn forward stitch is to make a knitted increase or to create an openwork pattern in the knitting. It is also the name used for a knitting-related website and a knitting magazine.PurposeWhen knitting, there are times when you want to make an increase, which means that you will increase the number of stitches on your knitting needles in the middle of a knitted project. In lace knitting, increases and decreases make up the holes in a lace pattern; in other types of knitting an increase might just serve the purpose of making your knitting bigger or wider.ProcedureTo make a yarn forward stitch in the middle of a row, take the yarn up from the bottom front of your right needle and over the top
