Dear Ewa & Brenda.
Wrap Stitch isn't a standard knitting term (as far as I know). It
sounds as though it's a special technique used for a particular
pattern which should be described in the list of stitches/techniques
used for that pattern.
I'll guess that it means to wrap the yarn around the needle twice to
make a big loop. perhaps to allow several increases in the same
stitch in the next row.
I'm fairly sure that many years ago when I was knitting lace from
Italian patterns they used a wrap stitch when you take the yarn and
wrap it horizontally many times around, say, the next 7 or so
stitches, before knitting into them. This was used to make the
stamens in a flower and was very frustrating to do. I ended up having
to use a very fine crochet hook to get the yarn through them all.
