PRACTICAL GUIDES

How to cast on (two needle method)

1

Create a slipknot on your left hand needle, pulling

it taut (but not too tight). Carefully insert the right

needle into the knot from front to back, passing

under the left hand needle. Wrap the ball end of yarn

anticlockwise around the point of the right needle.

2

Pull the loop that forms back through the original

stitch (knot) and insert the tip of the left hand

needle into the new stitch from underneath to transfer

it from the right hand to the left hand needle. There

should now be two stitches on the left needle.

3

Repeat Steps 1 and 2, knitting into

the top stitch on the left needle and returning

the new stitches from the right to the left needle

until you have the required number of stitches.
