How to Cast On

Hello once again! So this post is going to go on more of a description on how to cast on to start knitting your foundation row. I'm going to be referring to the end piece as the piece of yarn that is not going to be used until the end when you are weaving the ends in.

Just Like This!

1. Start  by draping your yarn onto the needle with the end piece facing toward you.

2. If you're right handed. make a gun with your pointer and thumb and stick it between the two strings, like this:

3. Then you're going to bring the knitting needle down with the tip going through the the loop that is made with your thumb.

4. Next, wrap the yarn connected to the bundle around the end of the needle from left to right.

5. Bring the loop on the thumb down over the the knitting needle and the yarn that is wrapped around it.

6. Then pull the two ends down and then tighten them. Make sure that you tighten each stitch to make them evenly. Then Voila! you have successfully casted onto your needle.

If you don't get it the first time, do not fear! (I didn't get it on the first time either.)  Just keep practicing and you'll get it eventually!

Good Luck!
