Basic Stitches

 

Step 1

Insert the hook into the second chain so that two strands are over the top of the hook and one strand is under the hook.

 

Step 2

Wrap the yarn over the hook; then pull a loop through the chain. (There should be two loops on the hook.)

 

Step 3

Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull a loop through the two loops.

 

With RS together, hold in one hand two needles with an equal number of stitches on each and with points in the same direction.

 

Step 1

Using a third needle of the same size, knit together one stitch from each needle.

 

Step 2

*Knit together the next stitch from each needle, pass the first stitch worked over the second stitch to bind off; repeat from * across to bind off all stitches.
