One pair bone knitting needles, No. 6, 7, or 8.
With the fingers, cast about 15 stitches on one needle. Tie the short end of yarn to the long end in a single knot close to the needle. Cut off short end.
Cut 1
Take up the other knitting needle with the thumb and fingers of the right hand, and slip the point of the right-hand knitting needle into the first loop on the left-hand needle, holding work in the position shown in the picture. Let the point of the right-hand needle stick out beyond the loop about an inch.
Cut 2
Now spread open the thumb and finger of the right hand, and slide the hand forward until you can lift the thread which is over your first finger over the point of the right needle.
Cut 3
Now slide the right hand back into the position shown in this picture, and put the first finger of your left hand on the point of the right-hand needle, and push the right-hand needle back until the point is even with the left needle.
