	With the right-side facing and yarn in back, insert the right-hand needle into the next stitch purlwise (as if to purl), and slip the stitch to the right-hand needle.
	Knit the next stitch, the yarn crosses behind the slipped stitch.
	For the next row, turn and work in pattern (purl, including the slipped stitch, if working stockinette stitch).
