LI or RLI:
With your right needle lift the right leg of the stitch below the left needle.
Pop it onto the left needle and knit it.

Pick up the left side of the stitch 2 rows below the last stitch on your right needle with your left needle.
To mount this stitch correctly we will knit into the back of the loop on the needle.
Remember again to leave the stitch on the needle (or you aren't increasing a new stitch!).
