Step-by-step Instructions

Step 1:

Hold the yarn in back. Insert the right-hand needle knitwise into the first two stitches on the left-hand needle, then slip both stitches onto the right-hand needle together.

Step 2:

Insert the right-hand needle knitwise into the next stitch on the left-hand needle.

Step 3:

Wrap the yarn counterclockwise around the right-hand needle.

Step 4:

Pull the loop through the stitch.

Step 5:

Keep the existing stitch on the left-hand needle. Bring the yarn between the needle tips to the front.

Step 6:

With the yarn in front, reinsert the right-hand needle knitwise into the same stitch.

Steps 7 and 8:

Wrap the yarn counterclockwise again and pull a second loop through — just as in steps 3 and 4.

Step 9:

Slip the worked stitch off the left-hand needle.

Step 10:

Insert the left-hand needle into the front of the two slipped stitches on the right-hand needle.

Step 11:

Pass the two stitches over the three stitches you just knitted off the right-hand needle.

Result:

You now have three stitches on the right-hand needle, with the center stitch raised on top. These were all created from three stitches on the left-hand needle.
