Errata/Special Stitches
It seems the additional instruction for the K1b stitch was left off the pattern. Here’s how:

Knit into the Row Below (K1B): insert RH needle into the center of the st directly below the next st on your LH needle (you’ll be knitting into both the stitch below the next st on your LH needle AND the next stitch on your LH needle). Knit this st (with the st above it), dropping both loops from the LH needle.
