      You are knitting the k and the yo together through the back loop. I’ve updated the post to make it a little easier to understand, but it’s demonstrated very clearly in the video.

        Thank you. Unfortunately, I have a problem with this computer and can not run the videos. The computer shut down as soon as I try to run one.
