If I understood it correctly, this is an increase stitch method similar to make on3 (M1) but this is make two instead. I usually come across make one in a knit sts and sometimes make muti stitches into one stitch but never seen "purl 2 times into the running thread like this.

I made a video to show you how I did it and I hope it's right. I'm curious of how many increase sts the pattern expects to get from. If it expects 2 sts, then it's okay to do what I did. If it expected 3 sts then I did it wrong. To gain 3 sts, we need to manipulate the yarn differently.

Here is the video I made;






Wish you the best on your project and thank you for visiting.
