I've seen directions that say "bring yarn forward" (and THEN what?) but the way I finally got it was this:
Y'know how you wrap the yarn around the right needle to make a knit stitch? Well, to make a yarnover, just wrap the yarn once around the right needle as if you were making a stitch, but without having done anything with the left needle. Then make the next stitch as normal. When you come back, there's an extra loop on the needle and you knit that like any stitch. And there's your little hole, and your one increased stitch.
This will work better with illustrations, but it goes like this - regular knit stitch, wrap as if you're making a knit stitch, regular knit stitch. The end result is three loops on the right needle, although you've taken only two off the left one.
