You can do either the knit or the purl first, whichever best matches the pattern. When planning increase points in ribbing, you can either increase on the edges of a knit rib or in the purl valley. Putting your increases at the edges of the knit ribs gives you a bolder pattern, with new ribs branching off from the central one. Increasing in the purl valley is more subtle, which some people prefer. When I’m increasing in ribbing, I prefer to use some variant of the knit-and-purl-in-the-same-stitch increase.

I'm not sure what I'd do otherwise... Hi Kristi — I agree with Snow, I’d use a M1K, make 1 knitwise, stitch here. I’m not sure what I’d do otherwise…

Snow's suggestion will also avoid a hole though. The two methods will look different. Snow's will have a funny little stitch below your new stitch while my method will have a sitch with one longer leg (off balance stitch) below the newly created one.
