Thanks.  These are good directions.  And they match what I've been doing, which is good.

Here are some seemingly decent directions I found on a website:

KYOK is a pretty standard way to increase for shawls. It increases TWO
stitches rather than the typical one stitch that you get from either a
regular increase or a YO.
It might seem a bit odd and unusual – and the acronym/abbreviation
certainly seems funky – but it’s really pretty simple!
HOW TO MAKE THE KYOK INCREASE
Although I’ve detailed 3 steps here, most people work it quickly and
in one fell swoop. I wanted to show you each step in detail, but don’t
let that discourage you.
We knit a few rows of garter stitch to start.
Step 1: K1 and DO NOT slip the stitch off the left needle
Step 2: Yarn Over (nothing unusual, just a regular Yarn Over).
You now have 2 extra stitches on your right needle – the Knit stitch
from Step 1 and the Yarn Over from Step 2. And remember, the stitch
you knit into in Step 1 is still on your left needle.
Step 3: K1 in the same stitch you knitted into on Step 1. This time
you DO slip the stitch off the left needle.
That’s it!
