Step 1
Cast on the number of stitches required in your knitting pattern. See "How to Cast On in Knitting" for instructions.
-
Step 2
Hold the knitting needle with the cast-on stitches in your left hand and the empty needle in your right. Use the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of each hand to hold and manipulate the needles.
-
Step 3
Drape yarn from the knitting needle over your right forefinger, under your middle and ring fingers and over your pinky. This positioning will allow you to manipulate the yarn with the right hand. Keep the yarn to the front of the right needle.
-
Step 4
Insert the right knitting needle tip from back to front into the first stitch on the left needle. The right needle should be in front of the left needle, with the yarn held to the front of your work.
-
Step 5
Use your right forefinger to wrap the yarn up and around the right knitting needle, right to left.
-
Step 6
Bring the right knitting needle back through the first stitch on the left needle. This step will form a stitch on the right needle. Slip the first stitch off the left needle.
-
Step 7
Repeat steps 4 to 6 until all the new stitches are on the right knitting needle and the left needle is empty.
-
Step 8
Place the needle holding the new stitches in your left hand and the empty needle in your right hand. Repeat Steps 3 to 7 until you have the desired number of rows.
