WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
1. Two knitting needles: For beginners, single-pointed needles are a bit easier to handle. 2. Yarn: A superwash wool blend (~20% acrylic) is perfect.
1
Wrap the yarn around your pinky finger twice
The ball should be on your right and a sizeable tail (~20 inches)on your right.
Pick up your knitting needles, and insert them into the loop around your thumb from BELOW.
4
Let loose of the loop around your thumb and tighten up. You created your first cast-on stitch.
7
Pull the needles towards you (like a slingshot) to create another loop around your thumb.
8
Repeat those steps until you cast on the required amount of stitches.
