“(k1-yo-k1-yo-k1) in next stitch” is an increase technique where you increase multiple times into one stitch. This particular increase is an increase where you increase four stitches into one stitch for a total of five stitches. These types of increases are often used in lace patterns and to create bobbles or nups in your fabric.
