Knitting

yarn back

Description

Instruction to move the working yarn between the needles to the back of the work, away from the knitter.

Detailed explanation

Move the working yarn to the back side of the knitting, which is the side facing away from you. This action is essential when transitioning from purl to knit stitches, such as in ribbing, or when slipping a stitch with the yarn held in back. Always pass the yarn between the needle tips rather than over them to prevent forming an accidental yarn over.
