Knitting

purl one stitch, do a yarnover, purl one stitch

Description

A knitting sequence where you purl one stitch, execute a yarn over, and purl the next stitch.

Detailed explanation

This sequence consists of purling a stitch, making a yarn over to create a new loop, and purling the subsequent stitch. It is common in lace patterns or textured knitting where an intentional hole or increase is required. Because the yarn over occurs between two purl stitches, the yarn must be wrapped completely around the needle to form the correct loop size.
