Usually the pattern you are working will tell you the preferred method.

Typically it is done through knitting into the front and then into the back of a stitch.

A regular knit stitch is done like this:

Put right-hand needle through the right-most stitch on the left needle, wrap yarn over right-hand needle, pull stitch through, and pull loop off the left-hand needle

A knit stitch through the back is done like this:

Put right-hand needle through the right-most stitch on the left needle on the back side of the needle (that's from the right side, but catch the back side of the loop) , wrap yarn over right-hand needle, pull stitch through, and pull loop off the left-hand needle

To do them in the same stitch:

perform a regular knit stitch, but do not pull the loop off the left hand needle (if feels very awkward, but don't panic), then put the needle through the back of the loop and complete the knit.

The end result is one more stitch than you had before.

Part of knitting is managing the tension you establish for your style of knitting.Try wrapping your yarn around your yarn finger once or twice, in order to establish a knitting tension -- the slack or lack of it -- that you want. (Your yarn finger is on the hand that holds the needles, while you knit actively with the needle in the other hand.)

How do you arm knit?

Michaels.com and the blogger pinkwhen.com have videos that helped me learn how to arm knit. As a tip, your "working yarn" (the yarn pulled from the yarn bundle) is the yarn thread that you wrap around your thumb and the tail of your yarn is the yarn thread that goes over your wrist (this will make sense if you watch the videos). You will need at least 2 separate balls of thick yarn (I used a 6oz weight) but I actually wondering myself if 5oz is chunky enough. This is due to the loose nature of the knit because your arms and hands are replacing what would normally be the needle(s) in traditional knitting.

How do you yarn over after a pearl stitch?

To yarn over after a purl stitch, first complete the purl stitch as usual by bringing the yarn in front of the needle. After you've finished the purl stitch, bring the yarn over the needle from the back to the front, positioning it above the needle. This creates a yarn over, which will be a new stitch when you knit the next row. Remember to maintain consistent tension to ensure your yarn overs are neat.


What is yarn forward?

In knitting, this means simply that you are supposed to move the yarn from behind the work to the front by moving it between the needles.This is often used when switching from a knit stitch to a purl stitch in the middle of a row.
