The object of knitting a
stitch is to move yarn from one needle to another to create a stitch.
First you will need to learn
how to cast on stitches. Once you have
stitches cast on your needle in your left hand, you may begin to knit.
To make the knit stitch, hold the needle with
stitches that you cast on in left hand, and hold the empty needle in your
right hand. (Our needle in the right hand already has some stitches on
it.) Point the
needles toward each other so that they form an "X". Insert the point of right needle under
the yarn in the first stitch, from front to back as shown in the photo.
Keep the
needles in an "X" and with the right needle beneath the left needle.
With right index finger, bring yarn from ball under and over the point of
right needle as shown in the photo.
Take the point of the right
needle and from the back bring it under the loop that you just created
making sure that the loop you just created does not come off the needle.
Draw yarn through stitch with
right needle point.
Slip the
loop on left needle off. The new stitch is entirely on right needle.
There...you have made your first knit stitch. You made a new stitch
by moving the stitch on the left needle over to the right needle. Repeat
until the row of stitches are all on the right needle.
