Both of these are correct: Wrap stitch is not wrapping. It is a way
of making a smooth turn in short row knitting. Thanks to both Jenny
and Joy.


"Wrap stitch" might also refer to the short-row technique in
which one wraps the yarn around the first of the stitches
that aren't knitted before turning and knitting back.  The
wrap may be picked up and knitted together with the stitch
later on, but in a bumpy fabric needn't be.

WRAP STITCH
A wrap stitch is used to eliminate the hole created when using the
short row shaping method. Work to the position on the row indicated
in the pattern, wrap the next st (by slipping next st onto right
needle, bringing yarn to front of work between needles and then
slipping same st back onto left needle – on foll rows, K tog the loop
and the wrapped st) and turn, cont from pattern.

description and not as easy to understand.
