Hello! I have a question for you awesome people. I'm about to start knitting a pair of gloves on DNPS, and I understand everything except the turning round. Here's how it goes

I think this is to give you a decorative edging to your gloves.
The yo, k2tog row gives a series of small holes, then you turn the first 4 rows up inside the glove, using the yo, k2tog row as the 'fold'. This gives a pointed edge, or a picot effect. If you read ahead to the finishing instructions for the gloves, I would expect to see something about catching the turn under section to the inside of the glove, like a hem.
I'm an intermediate knitter and am fairly confident in reading patterns, but there was a piece I was working on where that part was not explained and I was SO CONFUSED. I even learned how to do a picot cast-on/bind off because I thought perhaps it was implied. Not until I found this post and your reply did I understand. THANK YOU.

This video shows it being done flat but it's the same idea in the round.
