(((((((( Surf for the info:
English YO youtube right handed (or left)
Continental YO youtube (same)
So, the YO is accomplished in many ways and depends on the method of knitting you use.
If you're Russnan, Peruvian, Portuguese, Norwegian, commbined, eastern continental or other methods, you need to add that country to the search and also note if you're right handed (in some cases).
English knitting = throwing with the main hand. Working yarn is in the main hand.
Continentental knitters have the working yarn on the opposite side as if to crochet.........so, the YO is accomplished in a different way from English.
So..........a video is the best way to go as you didn't tell us, I think, which method you use or which hand.
English method depends on where the yarn is on the last stitch, too. You can YO in the purl position, too and it's best to surf for a video then add your specs.
It's had to write it in text, also.
Taking a chance here and assuming you are a right handed knitter using the English throwing method and your yarn is in BACK of the work:
Just bring the yarn forward (YF or YO) between the two needles. As you make the next stitch, it does an extra wrap of yarn which makes the YO (yarn over) hole and adds and extra stitch which needs to be reduced by K2 tog (knit 2 together (or purl) - it depends on what your next stitch is as you're in a K1, P1 ribbing as I recall. So, that would be another video to seek out.
See how hard it is to write it? LOL!!
If you're a right handed Continental knitter and with the yarn in back, just wrap the working yarn over the needle from front to back CCW (counter clockwise) and make your next stitch = increase made. K2 or P2 together.
Good luck & Wahooo! LOL!!

Laciness can be created by adding YO/s periodically over a row which adds a stitch, makes a hole (on purpose)) and then doing a K2 or P2 tog gets you back to square one. Each YO must be decreased.
Perhaps an experiment after a K1,K2 seauence width of your choice over an even number of stitches using K1, YO, K2 tog....repeat across for a bit......the second row will start to show you the laciness..........

I have 64 stitches, as I like very loose sweaters.
How is a YO done? Where can I find instructions? Would love to learn.[/quote]
