Now place the needle with the new stitches on, in the left hand. Do not knit the first stitch off the needle, but slip it off the needle without knitting. Always slip the first stitch on a row unless told to do otherwise.
To Slip a Stitch
Put the point of the right-hand needle through the first stitch, and slip it over the top of the left needle.
Continue to knit plain across the row.
