How to Do the Knit Stitch

The yarn is wound and cast on the needle. Now I can knit. I’m going to do just a knit stitch for this scarf. This is how I do it.

Starting the knit stitch

hold the needles like this

place right hand needle under first loop on the left hand needle and bring the right needle behind the left

: Another view of placing right needle through loop and underneath left needle

take yarn, that’s connected to the ball not the tail, and wrap around the right hand needle

pull the wrap down a little bit

pull the right hand needle down and catch the wrapped yarn around the tip of the needle

another view of catching the yarn

the loop from the wrap will be put on the right hand needle and push off the loop on the left

repeat knit stitch

underneath and through

wrap and catch

push off needle

Now I can knit knit knit until it’s time to bind off and weave the tails into the scarf! I’m so excited to complete this scarf!
