How to do Knit Stitch


1. Hold the needle with cast on stitches (sts) in your left hand, and the loose yarn attached to the ball at the back of work. Insert right- hand needle from left to right through the front of the first stitch (st) on the left-hand needle.




2. Wind the yarn from left to right over the point of the right-hand needle.




3. Draw the yarn through this original stitch (st) which forms a new stitch (st) on right-hand needle.



4. Slip the original stitch (st) off the left-hand needle, keep- ing the new stitch (st) on the right-hand needle.




5.To knit a row, repeat steps 1 to 4 until all stitches (sts) have been transferred from left-hand needle to right-hand needle. Turn the work by transferring the needle with stitches (sts) into your left hand to knit the next row.
