How do you do fouettes?

From fourth position:

Plie with your supporting leg and lift your working leg to the front,

While pushing up and off with your supporting leg, whip your working leg out to a la seconde, then into a retire. Use your arms and head to help you round.

When you reach the front again, come back down on to the flat and open your working leg out to the front again - and repeat.

A common mistake is to whip the foot behind rather than bringing it into retire, then you just get out of control.
