Different kind of knot stitch

[Skriest]

I am having difficulty understanding this knot stitch from the following web page text. I have looked at other knot stitches with the p to k to p on 3 stitches but this looks different. I don't understand when they say 'under thread' and 'above same thread'. I am fairly new to knitting and would like to learn this stitch to make this sweater eventually. Any help would be appreciated.

, * (make knot) Insert right needle under thread between next 2 sts on left needle, wrap yarn and loosely draw up a loop and place on right needle. Insert right needle above same thread and loosely draw up a second loop and place on right hand needle. With yarn in front, p first st from left needle. Pass first loop over second loop and p st, then pass second loop over p st-knot made; k5*; rep from *, end row with make knot, k4

Hi and welcome to Knitting Help!
Look at the strand of yarn that connects the stitch on the right needle to the stitch on the left needle. It's the strand of yarn from the row below. It's fairly easy to see when you can stretch out the stitches between the two needles. Now find that strand between the next 2sts on the left needle. That's the strand the pattern wants you to insert the right needle under or above.
So first you put the right needle under that strand, wrap the yarn around the needle as if to knit, draw the yarn through to the front and keep the loop on the right needle. Now go back to that same place and insert the right needle above the strand (this'll be between the strand and the needle), wrap the yarn around the needle and draw through another
