Step 1: Hold your knitting needles with the working yarn in your right hand and the stitches you want to work with in your left hand.

Step 2: Position the yarn to the front of your work. If it's not already in front, bring the yarn between the two needles to the front of your work.

Step 3: To create the yarn over, simply bring the working yarn over the right-hand needle and to the back of your work. This motion creates a loop of yarn around the right-hand needle.

Step 4: Continue with your knitting pattern, whether it's a knit or purl stitch or any other stitch required. The yarn over will create an extra stitch and an eyelet hole in your work.
