The yarn starts in the back, comes forward betweentheneedles, then up over the right needle to the back again. Thisisalso known as a yarn 'round needle (yrn) because the yarniswrapping all the way around the needle. However, I would arguethisis the same as a yo because the yarn travelsthesame distance.
