yoh
Crochetyarn over hook (UK)
Description
Stands for yarn over hook in UK crochet patterns, indicating the action of wrapping the working yarn around the hook.
Detailed explanation
Yarn over hook instructs the crafter to wrap the working yarn over the crochet hook from back to front. While standard in UK terminology, it is functionally identical to the abbreviation ‘yo’ found in US patterns. This action creates the necessary loop on the hook to form stitches or increase the stitch count.
