Elongated stitch (knitting)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In knitting, an elongated stitch is a stitch that is longer than others. It may be created by wrapping the yarn around the righthand needle two or more times, or by placing yarnovers between stitches and dropping them on the next row.
