Bee stitch, knit 1 below

How to knit the Knit 1 below

  1. Insert the right needle into the front of the stitch on the left needle, one row below the purl loop you are about to work.
  2. Wrap the yarn counterclockwise as normal, then pull the new loop through the stitch and the stitch above, making it look like you are knitting them together. Drop the stitch off the left needle.
