How to Knit Through Back Loop

Twisted stitches are created by knitting or purling through the back loops of your stitches. For some patterns you just need to twist a stitch here and there. 

Other times it can be a whole row of stitches like the twisted Stockinette pattern above.  It just depends on the patterns.
