  Step 1

  Start with a piece of yarn roughly 3 times longer than the width of your knitting project. This is the 'tail'. Don't cut it off from the ball of yarn though!

• 

  Step 2

  At the end of your tail that is attached to the ball of wool, wrap the yarn around your fingers twice to make an x shape. You should have two pieces if yarn around your finger.

• 

  Step 3

  Pull the piece of yarn closest to your knuckles under the other piece and pull through to make a loop.

• 

  Step 4

  Pull the loop tight and slip it on to your needle. This is your 'slip knot'.

• 

  Step 5

  Make another loop in your tail.

• 

  Step 6

  Slip the new loop on to your needle and pull to tighten.

• 

  Step 7

  You should now have two stitches on your needle.

• Step 8

  Continue adding more loops in this way until you reach the desired width.. Make sure to keep some of your tail there so you can sew it up later.
