(Michael S) #1

3 Use your left forefinger to wrap yarn around the right needle from front
to back.
Note:This is a small, quick motion involving primarily the left forefinger. You can help it along
by grabbing the yarn with the right needle at the same time.

4 Pull the right needle toward the front,
bringing the new loop of yarn you just
wrapped around it through the cast-on
stitch (a), and slip the cast-on stitch off
the left needle (b).
You now have 1 stitch on the right needle—
your first knit stitch.
Note:You may want to use your right forefinger to keep
the wrapped strand from slipping off the tip of the needle
at step 4 (a).


5 Repeat steps 2–4 for each remaining cast-on stitch, until all the new stitches
are on the right needle.
When you have knit all the stitches from the left needle, you have completed
one rowof knitting.


6 Switch the needle with the stitches on it to your left hand and repeat steps
2–5 for each row.
