• Hold needle with cast on stitches in lefthand and empty needle under right armas for cast on. The tail of yarn will be under the first stitch on a right side row. Push right hand needle through1st stitch. | |
• Wind ball end of yarn under then overright hand needle. | |
• Pull yarn through to make a loop. | |
• Keeping loop (which will now be the newstitch) on right hand needle, drop oldstitch off left hand needle. Repeat until there are no more stitcheson left hand needle. (You have justcompleted a row). |
