Knit Away Your Worries: Step 2: Knit Stitch

Step 1: With yarn in back, insert the right-hand needle from front to back into the first stitch on the left-hand needle. (Notice that the right-hand needle is behind the left-hand needle.)

Step 2: Form a loop by wrapping the yarn around the right-hand needle.

Step 3: Pull the needle and loop through the stitch so that the loop is in front of the work.

Step 4: Slip the first or “old” knit stitch over and off the tip of the left-hand needle, leaving a new stitch on the right-hand needle.

Tip: If you find that the first and last rows of your scarf pull in too much, try using a needle one or two sizes larger on those two rows.
