We have performed a calculation of the scattering amplitude for the three-body system KNN assuming K scattering against a NN cluster using the fixed center approximation to the Faddeev equations. The KN amplitudes, which we take from chiral unitary dynamics, govern the reaction and we find a KNN amplitude that peaks around 40 MeV below the KNN threshold, with a width in |T|{sup 2} of the order of 50 MeV for spin 0 and has another peak around 27 MeV with similar width for spin 1. The results are in line with those obtained using different methods but implementing chiral dynamics. The simplicity of the approach allows one to see the important ingredients responsible for the results. In particular, we show the effects from the reduction of the size of the NN cluster due to the interaction with the K and those from the explicit consideration of the {pi}{Sigma}N channel in the three-body equations.
