Wrap and turn is a two-step process that starts with the knitted wrap and finishes with the purled turn. It depends on the design, you might have to do both. Knitted wrap is a thin bar that runs across the bottom edge of a stitch and sits on your left hand. It is a good idea use a marker to mark the area. This will make it easier to place it on the right needle later.
The knitted wrap should be snug. It's also worth noting that the wrap gets knitted along with the stitch when you encounter it again later in the pattern. You'll need to keep your yarn in place while you're knitting the wrap and turn. You'll be able to see this by looking at the end result, which will look a bit longer on the needle than the beginning stitch. Your wrap might have a slight loop at its end.
The trick's purl counterpart is similar but requires you to move the working yarn onto the other side. Also, the turn side of your wrap should be your purl side. This is possible, but it may not be as easy as you think. To do this, wrap the wrap around your stitch's purl side and lift it off of your left. Then, insert the tip of your right needle into the wrap and purlwise into the next stitch. You may need to slip your needle into the wrapped stitch in order to pull the yarn through.
To figure this out, the best method is to use patterns. Many patterns include instructions for wrapping and turning. These instructions are short and sweet, which is the best part. To get familiar with the technique, it is possible to knit a row or two of shorter rows. These will be helpful if you're trying to pull a row of knitted stitches together without leaving a hole in your work. They can also be used to help you identify the trickier stitches.
