HOW TO CAST ON STITCHES WITH KNITTING NEEDLES
1. Make a slip knot on one knitting needle near the end of the yarn.
2. Knit 1 stitch. (See [page 162], To Knit a Stitch.) Do not take the stitch off the left-hand needle, but stretch the new stitch (which is on the right-hand needle) and slip it over the point of the left-hand needle. (See picture on [page 261].) Hold the stitch on the left needle with the thumb of the left hand.
Continue to make new stitches and slip them on the left needle until there are the number of stitches required.[Q]
