Images in this Series:

1. Start with a slip knot on the left hand needle.
2. Form a regular knit stitch, by passing the right hand needle through the loop, yarning over, and drawing the yarn through. Do not draw the first stitch off the left hand needle.
3. A loop (stitch) is on the right hand needle and left hand needle.
4. Return the this stitch to the left hand needle.
5. The next stitch is created by picking up a loop from between the two stitches on the left hand needle.
6. All subsequent stitches are created by picking up a stitch from between the last 2 stitches on the left hand needle, drawing the yarn through, and placing the loop on the end of the left hand needle.Note, the right hand needle does not pass through a loop on the left hand needle, but through the space between the 2 stitches closest to the end of the needle.
