Insert the right needle into the first stitch and transfer it from the left needle to the right needle. It is called slipping off the first stitch.
You can push the left hand needle down with your right index finger or you can pull
the first stitch over the tip of the left hand needle with the right needle.

Keeping the yarn over the left index finger and at the back of work, insert
the right needle into the next stitch on the left needle through the
front loop of the stitch. Extend left index finger away from the needle
to eliminate looseness of the yarn.
Draw the yarn inside of this stitch forming a new loop and slip this loop
onto the right needle.
Repeat last 2 steps as many times as needed to knit more stitches.
