See this blog post for more information.

Note: instead of k1 tbl, work a knit full twist: slip 1 as if to purl tbl, slip back to left needle in this configuration, and then knit through the back loop to add a second half twist. This adds a full twist to the stitch instead of the usual half twist made by knitting through the back loop.
