Before you can begin knitting,
you must cast on your first row of stitches. To do so, first tie a
slipknot on your knitting needle.
There are probably 10 or 20 different ways on
can cast on. We are going to show you the easiest way.
(At least we think it is.)
Hold the
knitting needle with the slipknot in
your left hand. Wrap the yarn around your right index finger as shown in
the photo.
Once the yarn is wrapped
around your index finger put your index finger next to the needle and
slide the yarn over the needle.
Pull down on the yarn. This is
one cast on. Do this as many times as your pattern calls for.
Example, if your pattern tells you to cast on 18 stitches. Then you
need to cast on 17, because your slipknot counts as one.
