Bring the yarn forward if on the public (front or knit) side or back if on the private (back or purl) side. Slide the next stitch from the right hand needle to the left needle by holding the two needles point-to-point. Then bring the yarn back if on the public (front or knit) side or forward if on the private (back or purl) side. Then move the slipped stitch back to the right needle, again with the two needles held point-to-point.
Stitches are wrapped to prevent holes in the fabric when working "short rows." A short row occurs when you knit part way across a row and without finishing that row turn and knit back. Short row shaping is used to form three dimensional curves such as heels in socks or shaping for bust lines.
