Knittingyarn round needle
Description
A knitting increase technique used to create an open eyelet, typically executed before a purl stitch.
Detailed explanation
In knitting patterns, particularly those using British or vintage terminology, ‘yarn round needle’ specifies a type of yarn over increase. It distinguishes the exact movement required to create an extra loop when the yarn starts at the front and must wrap around the needle to position it correctly for a subsequent purl stitch.
