Figure 3-1: Get the slip knot (the first stitch) on your needle.

Figure 3-2: “Catch” a loop from your left hand to form the first cast-on stitch.

5. With your right hand, pull the needle between your left thumb and index finger so the “tent” sides aren’t droopy.

6. With the RH needle tip, go around the yarn on your thumb from the left (see Figure 3-2b) and then around the yarn on your index finger from the right (see Figure 3-2c), and pull the new loop through (see Figure 3-2d).

Figure 3-2e shows the finished stitch.

7. Tighten this new loop (your first cast-on stitch) onto the needle — but not too tight!

You’ll quickly find that if you don’t let go of the yarn after creating the stitch, you can use your thumb to tighten the stitch onto your needle.

Although this stitch is the first one you cast on, it’s the second stitch on the RH needle because you also have the initial slip knot.

8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 until you have the number of stitches you need (see Figure 3-3).

If you need to put your work down, or if you lose your place, you may have to pull the stitches off the needle and start from Step 3 instead.
