Knit the Second Stitch

Knit in back of stitch

To finish the increase, knit in the back of the same stitch.

Sarah White

You now have one stitch on the right-hand needle and the old stitch still on the left-hand needle. To finish the increase, knit into the back of the old stitch on the left-hand needle.

This stitch is made in exactly the same way you'd make a stitch on the front part of the loop, you're just doing it in the part of the loop that is behind the needle.
