Insert the hook into the stitch so there are two loops on the hook. Rotate the hook clockwise in the opposite direction from the way you usually would so it goes over the yarn. Now pass the hook behind the yarn held by your left index finger. Catch both strands with the hook, and pull them both through the stitch.
