Knitting

backward yarn over

Description

A knitting increase created by wrapping the yarn around the needle in the reverse direction of a standard yarn over.

Detailed explanation

The backward yarn over is a knitting technique used to generate an extra stitch. Unlike a standard yarn over, the yarn wraps around the needle in the opposite direction, typically resulting in a smaller eyelet or a stitch mount that appears twisted on the following row. It is frequently utilized in lace knitting or decorative openwork patterns to adjust stitch orientation.
