How to knit double loop knitting

In this DROPS video we show how you can knit double loop knitting.

Use this fun technique to make a loop scarf, loop cuffs, loop collar or why not a loopy bag?

Double loops knitted back and forth on needles:
The loops are made on the WS rows of the piece and ends up on the RS.
1st row (RS): Knit all sts
2nd row (WS): K1, * make a double loop as follows: Twist the yarn over and around the left second and third finger 3 times. Knit the next st by pulling all 3 threads on the left index finger through the st. Slip the loops off the finger – but the stitch are still on the left needle, leave the main thread over the left index finger at the same time as 2 loops are held closely into the piece with the right hand finger.
K 1 st in the back of the same st (= 1 twisted st). There are now 3 loop sts + 1 twisted st on the right needle. Lift the 3 back sts over the first st = 1 loop st, K 1 *, repeat from *-*.
Repeat these 2 rows, making the loops in alternating stitches on the WS rows.
