Bring the yarn to the front under the Knook, then back over the top of the Knook, so that it is now in position to knit the next stitch (Fig. 2).

When instructed to pick up stitches on a knitted piece, insert the Knook from the front to the back under two strands at the edge of the worked piece (Fig. 3). Catch the yarn as if picking up stitches on the foundation chain and draw the yarn through, resulting in a stitch on the Knook.
Repeat this along the edge, picking up the required number of stitches.
