Bring the yarn to the back of the work. Insert left index finger under the
yarn.
Extend the index finger just a little bit. Slightly press thumb and middle fingers together so that the work is in between them. Always keep two next stitches available.
You should be able to pull the needle easy enough without slipping stitches of the needle
See initial position
|
Insert the right needle into the very first stitch and slip it onto the right hand needle without processing it
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 hand needle. Both ways are appropriate
|
Keeping the yarn wrapped around the left index finger and behind the left hand needle, insert the right hand needle through the back loop of the next stitch
Draw the yarn inside of this stitch forming a new stitch and slip this new stitch onto the right hand needle
Repeat last 2 steps as many times as needed to knit more stitches.
