How To Knit A YFWD (and YRN)
We all come across knitting jargon that confuses us, especially when two abbreviations mean the same thing, or you think you might already know a technique but don't have anyone there to confirm it.
I'll help you knit a YFWD today and show you that you probably do already use this knitting technique more often than you might realise!

Hi Lotte! You’re welcome 😊 There are a few videos here where I dive into how I'm holding my needles. This one show specifically - it's the English Traditional style, sometimes called the America Fast method: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLWprdZ51Zm1pZc.html Happy knitting! 🧶

I was looking for wl.fwd definition in a vintage pattern, but it turns out it's the same thing. Thanks for this clear instruction and I was able to figure out how to make it work for the way I hold my needles thanks to your yrn instruction. Thanks so much!

Is Yarn forward the same as Yarn over? I see both terms in the same knitting pattern for babies booties and I am confused a little. Plus if I do the yarn forward , do most patterns take it for granted that you will decrease ( K2 together) ? I have spare time on my hands and have lost the pattern I used for knitting booties that I used to take up to the Women's Hospital for the Neo Nates- Prems.

@KnitWithHannah 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Andrew, yes they can be used to do the same thing but you'll also need them to do different things too! (nice and confusing I know!) For example Slip WYIF only needs the first YFWD movement and doesn't complete the YO. Most patterns won't presume you know to decrease, they'll always write it in the instructions. The compensation might be on later rows or not happen at all - see the yarn over video for more on this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebCnndZht9yuXXk.html Happy knitting!

Hi I have encountered something that doesn't not make sense. "1st and alt rows: (WS)knit." Can you please explain that I know it means wrong side, but is it another way of asking me to start with a perl row?

@KnitWithHannah 3 жыл бұрын

This may be because you’re knitting in garter stitch - every row knitted. Lots of baby booties are knitted like that, makes them thicker and gives more structure.

@pampeltz2440 Жыл бұрын

What if the yarn is in the back and then yrn to purl stitch next?

@KnitWithHannah Жыл бұрын

You’ll need to loop all the way round around the needle, just like you would for a stitch, but without placing the needle through the stitch first. To the front as you would before purling, over to the back and under to the front again. Happy knitting 🧶

I understand the pull over what I'm confused it the BO after the BO do I use the BO stitch ti knit front /back and so on or a different stitches all together..What does it mean the first 4bloops from the the 5 loop . I learn knitting by looking and reading is a real challenge for me. Cheers

How do you do a yfwd after do yrn

@KnitWithHannah 3 жыл бұрын

This will very likely mean that you did the yfwd after a knit stitch and need to be ready for a purl stitch next, so make sure the yarn is at the front of your knitting as you continue with the pattern. Happy knitting! 🧶

Hi Hannah I purchased a really pretty baby blanket pattern some years ago with instructions for yfwd, yrn and yon… Oh my Daze project abandoned and never went back to it, but recently had urges to purchase pattern again and was mortified to see I still didn’t understand yrn… so I thought let’s find what Hannah knows… thank you so much and please may I say you have the most amazing teaching voice…calm collected and never makes me switch off. Thank you Hannah

So fwd is the same as a yo?

@KnitWithHannah 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, you'll find yfwd, yo, yrn are all very similar, with slight differences if you're using them in different situations - but basically they all make holes or move the yarn around the needle for one reason or another!

my is lyfwd what is the y ?

@KnitWithHannah 5 жыл бұрын

The Y is 'Yarn'. If it says lyfwd. , it's probably 'left yarn forward', which is going to be very similar to what is demonstrated above. (I'd go with that until you have a better handle on the rest of the instructions, when you can look more deeply into the different nuances of yfwd.

@KnitWithHannah 3 жыл бұрын

That sounds like an odd instruction, it’s impossible as there’s not a stitch to knit before the next stitch. Double-check you’ve the right number of stitches in your needle, but otherwise it might be a mistake in the pattern. Happy knitting 🧶

Hi Nancy, sorry this video wasn't slow enough for you - if you click on the setting button, that's shaped like a cog, you can pick a different speed. My voice might sound a bit weird but you'll see the video more slowly. And anything else I did in the video, like the knit stitch, k2tog or purl stitch can be seen more slowly in my other videos in the jargon playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLnqw36aiAI0gU7FIK5VHQJH8mZhrrvhBR and beginners playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLnqw36aiAI0jrYkn9Nmr2_wctJ8_TDnge happy knitting!

Hi Lyn, You'll find knit stitch and purl stitch tutorials elsewhere on the channel, this just shows moving the yarn forward. As long as you're knitting and purling already, the yarn forward will be easy to slip into your knitting techniques. See the yfwd part starting here: 1:06
