Crochet/yoh and draw up a loop?

Question
Will you explain what this means and maybe show me a diagram?

Answer
Hi Joyce!
Thanks for asking. I don’t think I have ever seen “yoh”, just “yo”. So I think it means, “yarn over hook”. So what this means is that you yarn over the hook like you were going to do a double crochet stitch. Then you insert the hook into the designated stitch, hook the yarn with the hook and draw it through the stitch. At this point there should be three loops on the hook, if you started with one loop on the hook. I hope this helps! Let me know if it doesn’t, or if you need anything else.

Expertise

I have crocheted many doilies, I enjoy working with crochet thread. I have crocheted numerous afghans. But I have little to no experience in the afghan stitch, or hairpin lace. If you have a question pertaining to a pattern in a magazine, book or leaflet, please include the name and # of it, and the page or pattern #. There is a slight possibility I may have that pattern, and can refer to it. Nearly all of my crochet magazines, leaflests, etc are over 5 years old. Many are from the 80's and before. Although I have crocheted sweaters and slippers,I don't feel I have done enough of them to really give good advice as to assembling the pieces, but can give advice on the type of stitches.

I have been a crocheter for over 30 years.
