If you want a long coat, the only trimming you need to do are ear tips, paws, and sanitary trim (around the anus and pee string). About once a month or more, snip the very ends of all hair to avoid split ends. Just like a puppy, any Yorkie growing hair will go through some awkward stages.
For topknots and tips for training your pup to sit still, there are many threads in the grooming section. Check out my thread there on Maximo's topknot flopping forward.
