Notes on the Make three in loop, make 4 in loop, make 9 in loop.  These are all worked into a single stitch, usually a yo of the previous row.  I use
alternating k, yo  to make the  stitches, for the make 4, since it is an even number I (knit, yo, knit, knit through back loop).  You may, if you prefer alternate
k1,p1 to the appropriate number, or knit front, knit back.
