Knitting - Basic Techniques

Wrap the yarn over the right-hand needle as shown by the arrows (Continental method in Long-tail cast-on). |
 |
Pull the yarn down with the index finger of your left hand, and without letting the yarn wrapped over the right-hand needle loosen, pull a loop from front to back through the first stitch. |
 |
As you pull the loop through, drop the stitch from the left-hand needle. |
 |
The purl stitch is on the right-hand needle. |
