How to knit

1 Begin with some number of Cast-on stitches.

2 Stick the right-hand needle under and behind the first stitch on the left-hand needle.

3 Follow the movie as the right hand wraps the yarn around the back needle.

4 Hold the yarn and the right needle together, bring the newly wrapped loop through the old stitch.

5 Slide the old stitch off the left needle.
