What is insert needle under next horizontal loop of row below and knit?

Hi I hope you can help please as I just don't understand how to do the following from the knitting pattern I have.

It reads as follows:

K1, insert needle under next horizontal loop of row below
(between sts) and knit this st. Repeat from * across, ending K6

Do you know if there is a video to watch for the above as I am
needing to watch how this is done?

Thank you very much

Jeanette

Hi Jeanette, Thank you for the question. I hope this is not too late. The pattern want you to increase a stitch by knitting into a horizontal strain of yarn of the previous row. It does sound a little confusing when you don't see how it done. I took a morning off and did a little video for you and then I had to do the voice over because I didn't like the way it turned out. Well, finally I got the final video done but not as perfect.
Here it is. I hope it helps.

I also have a picture illustration about this increase at; increase knitting. Just scroll down toward bottom. It is right below the video.
