How to do a yarn over when purling (wrong side of work)

In this DROPS Video we show how to do a yarn (yo) over when on the wrong side of your work. You make the yo exactly as when on the right side.

On the next row you can create a hole by knitting into the front loop of the yarn over.

Then we show again how to make the yarn over on wrong side, and then on next row we knit into the back loop to show how the yo (increase) that way become invisible, thus not creating a hole.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns using this technique by clicking on the pictures below

The video above can be used in the following patterns

...but so basically if after the yarn over I'll have to work a purl, I'll have to do the yarn over in a different way..! I did not know that, I thought there was only one way of doing a yarn over...:D

Hei Gro. Strikk masken (kastet) i bakre maskebue. Du vil nok få et lite hull, men mye mindre enn om du strikker i den fremste maskebuen. Se siste del av denne videoen. mvh DROPS design
